Follow-up
All patients were followed in our dedicated LAA clinic, at 6 weeks,
6-months, 1-year, and 2-years after the procedure. During the follow-up
visits, clinical status and ECG were recorded. A TEE was performed at
45-60 days post procedure then repeated at 1-year follow-up to assess
persistence of correct sealing and PASS criteria and exclude any
complication. If a TEE was contraindicated, a standard TTE was
performed.
