Improved Algorithm for Ostium Size Assessment in Watchman Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Using Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
06/27/2017
Correct sizing of the ostium is a crucial step in left atrial appendage occlusion procedures. We hypothesize that area-derived and perimeter-derived diameters from 3D transesophageal echocardiogram can facilitate this step of the procedure.
