Abstract

An 80-year-old male patient with permanent atrial fibrillation, CHA2DS2VASc score of 6, and HAS-BLED score of 5 was referred for implantation of a left atrial appendage occlusion device (LAAO) because of gastrointestinal bleeding under oral anticoagulation. After implantation of a 28-mm AMPLATZER-Amulet LAAO (St. Jude Medical, Minneapolis, Minnesota), criteria for proper implantation and stability were fulfilled, and the device was released from the delivery system (Figure 1A).
