Kissing-Watchman technique applied in single-lobulated left atrial appendage anatomy with giant ostia.

CONCLUSIONS: When necessary, the implantation of a kissing-device to achieve complete LAA occlusion in patients with single-lobulated left atrial appendage and giant ostia anatomy is safe and leads to favorable results during follow-up. Potentially, this technical innovation may widen Watchman indications in single-lobulated left atrial appendage with giant ostia anatomy. PMID: 31313275 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
