Role of TEE in Mechanical LAA Occlusion and Device Sizing for Atrial Fibrillation

This paper by Yu et al. (2013) examines the importance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in assessing the suitability of mechanical left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion. TEE plays a crucial role in determining the anatomy and size of the LAA, guiding the selection and sizing of occlusion devices. By optimizing the intervention process, TEE enhances the efficacy of mechanical antithrombotic strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation, potentially improving outcomes and reducing the risk of thromboembolism.
