Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) plays a key role in the peri-procedural planning of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device placement and post-procedural evaluation. The geometric variability of the interatrial septum, left atrium, and the left atrial appendage morphology can be fully visualized and intuitively appreciated through CT-derived, patient-specific 3D model unique to each individual's anatomy. This review further defines the strengths and limitations of CT peri-procedural imaging in the planning of LAAO. 2020 Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy. All rights reserved.Entities:
