Key result
Left atrial appendage occlusion using the AMPLATZER Amulet device achieved a 99.0% implant success rate with a 3.2% major adverse event rate during the procedure and index hospitalization.
Observational (n=1,088)
Yes
In a high-risk real-world population, LAAO with the AMPLATZER Amulet device demonstrated a 99.0% implant success rate, low periprocedural complications, and high rates of adequate appendage occlusion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High procedural success and low events with Amulet LAAO support feasibility; leaves open randomized comparisons to other devices.
Landmesser et al. (2017) conducted an observational in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (n=1,088). Left atrial appendage occlusion with the AMPLATZER Amulet device was evaluated on Successful device implantation. Left atrial appendage occlusion using the AMPLATZER Amulet device achieved a 99.0% implant success rate with a 3.2% major adverse event rate during the procedure and index hospitalization.
