Left Atrial Appendage Management with the Watchman Device during Hybrid Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Left Atrial Appendage Management with the Watchman Device during Hybrid Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Background. In the recent ESC/EACTS guidelines, left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion or exclusion in patients undergoing (thoracoscopic) atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation surgery is recommended. The Watchman device (WD, Boston Scientific, Minnesota) has proved to reduce the risk of thromboembolic e...
