Common Questions
[ 01 ]
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed through a small incision in the groin. Using advanced imaging guidance, our device is precisely positioned to seal the left atrial appendage, preventing blood clots from forming and reducing the risk of stroke.
[ 02 ]
What is the recovery process like?
Most patients experience a relatively short recovery period. We recommend a few days of rest at home, followed by a gradual return to normal activities. Your medical team will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth transition.
[ 03 ]
How effective is the device?
Our LAA Closure Device has demonstrated high clinical success rates in preventing stroke. By closing the left atrial appendage, we significantly reduce the risk of clot formation, offering a reliable and long-term solution for atrial fibrillation patients.
[ 04 ]
Are there any long-term benefits?
Yes. By eliminating the need for lifelong anticoagulant therapy, our device helps reduce the risk of bleeding complications. This allows patients to enjoy a more active lifestyle while maintaining a significantly lower stroke risk over the long term.
[ 05 ]
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
Candidates are typically patients with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for stroke and who are not suitable for long-term anticoagulation therapy. Our clinical team will evaluate your individual health history to determine if this procedure is the right choice for you.
