Popis: Left atrial appendage harbours most of the blood clots responsible for cardioembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. In patients with ad- verse reactions to blood clotting medication, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, percutaneous occlusion of the appendage with a device is a minimally invasive procedure with results comparable to warfarin. A possible complication of percutaneous intervention is the formation of pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulae.
