Abstract

Recently receiving FDA approval, the Amplatzer Amulet™ LAA occluder device (Abbott Medical Inc) provides a dual seal mechanism alternative to the commercially available Watchman FLX or Watchman 2.5 device for embolic stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This Step-by-Step review will cover patient selection, pre-procedure imaging assessment, device sizing, device preparation, implant target position assessment, implant technique and troubleshooting, and immediate post implant follow-up.
