Background and Aims Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has an excellent safety profile but there is growing evidence of adverse long-term sequelae of peri-device leak and device-related thrombus. This study seeks to determine if guidance from 3D-printed models of left atrial appendages reduces t...
