Mashup Score: 1
The use of oversized devices for patients receiving the first-generation Watchman device while undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has increased over time, according to a study published Dec. 6, 2022, in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. The practice was associated with less risk of significant leak or device embolization and no greater risk of other adverse events. Using…

Mashup Score: 0
Increased thromboembolic risk, history of a major bleed, and high fall risk were the most common procedural indications for implantation with a Watchman device, according to a paper published Aug. 12 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. In addition, high fall risk resulted in a “modestly increased risk” of in-hospital adverse events. Usama A. Daimee, MD, et al., used data from…

Mashup Score: 2Residual Leaks Post Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion - American College of Cardiology - 3 year(s) ago
Quick Takes Peri-device leak is not uncommon after percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion. This analysis from the NCDR LAAO suggest that small leaks (3mm were present in 13.3% patients at 45 days and in 11.8% at 1-year.1 In the Amulet IDE trial, any PDL at 45 days was present in 37% and 54% in patients randomized to the Amulet versus Watchman device, respectively. Leaks >3mm were detected…
