Left atrial appendage closure: A single center experience and comparison of two contemporary devices

ConclusionsOur data show excellent safety and efficacy of LAA closure, irrespectively of the device utilized, in a population at high ischemic and hemorrhagic risk. The use of ACP and 3D‐TEE minimized the incidence of residual leaks; however, the clinical relevance of small peri‐device flow warrants further investigation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
