Peri-Device Leak after Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Incidence, Risk Factors and Clinical Impact

ConclusionsPDL rate detected by CCTA after LAAC is high, especially in cases with low device compression ratio (<10%), but decreased over time. The incidence of MACE was quantitatively greater with PDL, but the difference was not statistically significant. Larger studies are needed to determine the clinical importance of PDL.
