Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with complex anatomy by using the staged ‘kissing-Watchman’ technology with double devices

Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an efficient alternative of oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Due to complexities of LAA anatomy, a complete closure may not always be obtained with a single device. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the staged ‘kissing-Watchman’ technology to occlude the LAA with complex anatomy.
