LAAO closure device
Date: Feb 8, 2023
Question:
The patient had a LAAO closure device deployed but there is a gap between the device and the appendage wall. There have been literature showing that ablating the appendage wall around the device will shrink the tissue around the device.
Do you think this would qualify as a AF Ablation?
