Practical Applications of Concomitant Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Appendix Closure Device Implantation

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon causes acute tissue edema of the osteal region of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium. In two cases combining PVI with an implantation of a left atrial appendage closure device led to malsizing of the device, device shouldering, and a paraprosthet...

Descripción
Sumario:Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon causes acute tissue edema of the osteal region of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium. In two cases combining PVI with an implantation of a left atrial appendage closure device led to malsizing of the device, device shouldering, and a paraprosthetic residual flow. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
