Left atrial appendage occlusion treatment. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of an occlusive device (green cone,upper right) being placed by catheter (red tube) in the left atrial appendage of the heart. This device helps to seal off clots formed in the left atrial appendage from entering the general circulation and helps to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. The treatment is known as left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). | |
