ABSTRACT
Please verify if "pigtail guided" should be "pigtail catheter-guided" Recent design changes for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure devices have led to significant improvement by facilitating the procedural workflow (no need for pigtail guided LAA intubation), moving the workspace from distal LAA to the landing zone (closed distal end design), and improving device stability (different anchor design). The availability of different device types (plug vs disc-lobe design) offers an option to tailor a device type to a patient's anatomy; thereby, sealing results have improved substantially. The issue of device-related thrombus has not been resolved and deserves future research, with the goal of eliminating postprocedural antithrombotic medication without increasing risk for stroke.
