Echocardiographic-Fluoroscopic Fusion Imaging Improves Interventionalists’ Learning Curve for Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure—Initial, Single-Center, Retrospective Observations

Due to the complex and variable anatomy of the left atrial appendage, percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) can be challenging. In this study, we investigated the impact of fusion imaging (FI) on the LAAC learning curve of two interventionalists. The first interventionalist (IC 1) was in...
