Po-05-085 Use of Cerebral Protection Device During Af Ablation in Patient With Laa Thrombus

Thombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA) is a well known complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) and increases the risk of stroke. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a well-established therapy for treating AF, but performing PVI in patients with known LAA thrombus is contraindicated. Cerebral protection devices (CPDs) are routinely used to capture and remove thrombus/debris during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures.
