Early safety of the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug™ for left atrial appendage occlusion
Conclusions: In this single operator report, LAA occlusion using the double element ACP™ can be safely performed with excellent success rates. Using very specific deployment success, stability and release criteria, this device can achieve LAA occlusion with extremely low complication rates in an extremely frail oral anticoagulant ineligible population with multiple co-morbidities.
