May guide individualized peri-device leak management after LAAO; leaves open prospective validation of thromboembolic risk stratification.
Raphael et al. (2017) conducted a review in Non-valvular atrial fibrillation with peri-device leak after LAA occlusion. Management of peri-device leak after LAA occlusion was evaluated.
