LAA closure is a rapidly emerging field in stroke prevention for patients with atrial fibrillation. Several percutaneous and surgical devices are now available in many countries, including WATCHMAN, Amplatzer Cardiac Plug and Amulet, and LARIAT devices, and many more are in clinical development and are being evaluated in research trials. As LAA closure is a technically challenging procedure, detailed knowledge of the rationale, anatomy, and technical approach of this modality guides clinicians in patient selection and facilitates procedural success. Left Atrial Appendage Closure is a valuable resource for interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, echocardiographers, radiographers, fellows, and residents in guiding the management of patients prior to, during, and following LAA closure.    . 410 0$aContemporary Cardiology,$x2196-8977 606 $aCardiology 606 $aHeart$xSurgery 606 $aInterventional radiology 606 $aCardiology 606 $aCardiac Surgery 606 $aInterventional Radiology 615 0$aCardiology. 615 0$aHeart$xSurgery. 615 0$aInterventional radiology. 615 14$aCardiology. 615 24$aCardiac Surgery. 615 24$aInterventional Radiology. 676 $a610 702 $aSaw$b Jacqueline$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKar$b Saibal$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPrice$b Matthew J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254521803321 996 $aLeft Atrial Appendage Closure$92497430 997 $aUNINA
