Impact of left atrial appendage morphology on thrombus formation after successful left atrial appendage occlusion: Assessment with cardiac-computed-tomography

Abstract A standardized imaging algorithm by cardiac computed tomography angiography (cCTA) (LOVE-view) was used in 30 patients to evaluate the influence of different left atrial appendage (LAA) morphologies on development of thrombosis in the LAA 6 months after implantation of an occlusion device (...
