P1433Prevalence and location of residual leaks following percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: the importance of 3D transesophageal echocardiography
Abstract:Background
The left atrial appendage (LAA) shape and size are very variable, and incomplete appendage closure or persistent leaks around the device are common following device placement. Limited studies reported the rate of peri-device leaks (PDL) after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure, and the impact of 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) on the detection of those leaks.
Aim
To describe the rate and location of leaks 1 month after percut… Show more
