Preliminary findings on left atrial appendage occlusion simulations applying different endocardial devices

Preliminary findings on left atrial appendage occlusion simulations applying different endocardial devices

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most investigated arrhythmias since it is associated with a five-fold increase in the risk of strokes. Left atrium dilation and unbalanced and irregular contraction caused by AF favour blood stasis and, consequently, stroke risk. The left atrial appendage (LAA)...
