- Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) closure
Procedure:
- Fasting (4-6 hours)
- Local anesthesia and sedation
- Catheter insertion through vein in leg or arm
- Guided to heart defect using fluoroscopy and echocardiography
- Device deployed to close defect
- Verification of closure using imaging
Devices Used:
- Amplatzer devices
- Gore Helex devices
- CardioForm devices
- Watchman devices (for LAA closure)
Benefits:
- Minimally invasive
- Reduced risk of complications
- Faster recovery
- Less scarring
- Improved outcomes
Risks and Complications:
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Allergic reaction
- Device malfunction
- Residual defect or leakage
Post-Procedure Care:
- Monitoring for complications
- Bed rest (2-6 hours)
- Pain management
- Follow-up appointments
- Antibiotic prophylaxis (as recommended)
Indications:
- 1. Congenital heart defects
- 2. Acquired heart defects (e.g., post-myocardial infarction)
- 3. Stroke prevention (LAA closure)
- 4. Migraine prevention (PFO closure)
Contraindications:
- 1. Active infection
- 2. Severe bleeding disorders
- 3. Uncontrolled hypertension
- 4. Severe cardiac dysfunction
