A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملPercutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (PLAATO) for preventing cardioembolism: first experience in canine model.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is associated with a high risk for cardioembolic stroke. The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the source of the vast majority of these thromboemboli. A novel implanted device for percutaneous LAA transcatheter occlusion (PLAATO) has been designed to seal the LAA. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and safety of transcatheter LAA occlusion in dogs....

Transcatheter Occlusion an Alternative to Oral Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation? To the Editor: Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) transcatheter occlusion (PLAATO) has been suggested to prevent stroke in highrisk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).1 PLAATO is performed by implanting a novel device via transseptal catheterization into the LAA to seal it.1 Because mo...
