In silico Optimization of Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Implantation Using Interactive and Modeling Tools

According to clinical studies, around one third of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) will suffer a stroke during their lifetime. Between 70 and 90% of these strokes are caused by thrombus formed in the left atrial appendage. In patients with contraindications to oral anticoagulants, a left atri...
