Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Left Atrial Appendage to Predict Thrombosis Risk

Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Left Atrial Appendage to Predict Thrombosis Risk

During Atrial Fibrillation (AF) more than 90% of the left atrial thrombi responsible for thromboembolic events originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a complex small sac protruding from the left atrium (LA). Current available treatments to prevent thromboembolic events are oral anticoagulatio...
