The Added Value of Preprocedural Cardiac Computed Tomography in Planning Left Atrial Appendage Closure With the Watchman FLX Device

• Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) can be used as a useful complementary tool in preprocedural planning of left atrial appendage closure. • CCT planning includes assessing exclusion criteria, device sizing, sheath selection, anticipating challenging anatomies, and transseptal puncture planning. • P...

Descripción
Sumario:• Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) can be used as a useful complementary tool in preprocedural planning of left atrial appendage closure. • CCT planning includes assessing exclusion criteria, device sizing, sheath selection, anticipating challenging anatomies, and transseptal puncture planning. • Procedural 3D intracardiac echocardiography (3D-ICE) is increasingly being used instead of transesophageal echocardiography. In this setting, preprocedural CCT is useful to compensate for 3D ICE’s reduced resolution.
