2023 AF Symposium Spotlight: Ground-Breaking LAA Elimination Device
For A-Fib patients, perhaps the most innovative and potentially ground-breaking presentation at this year’s AF Symposium was by Dr. Saibal Kar of Cardiovascular Associates at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA.
In a Spotlight Session on Friday, he described a new device for closing off (“eliminating”) the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA). The LAA is where 90%-95% of Atrial Fibrillation clots and strokes come from.
The Laminar LAA elimination device is a potential medical breakthrough innovation! It takes little time to insert, it could be positioned at the same time as a catheter ablation. This could revolutionize the way LAAs are closed off today.. Learn all about it in my report: Spotlight Session: Laminar LAA Closure/Elimination Device.
