Image-Based Flow Simulations of Pre- and Post-left Atrial Appendage Closure in the Left Atrium

ConclusionsThis framework successfully predicted patient-specific outcome of a LAA closure procedure for one patient with atrial fibrillation. It can be further developed into a useful tool for pre-procedural planning and candidate selection. More patient data are necessary for further validation studies.
