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)...
