Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Investigate if CT is a reliable modality to detect blood flow distal to the LAAO device validated by TEE. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the reproducibility of position and blood flow measurements: inter and intra observer variance, CT compared with TEE. • Determine the optimal device position and size, based on pre-implantation anatomical CT data. Measurements of the LAA shape, ostium, depth and trabeculations in relation to the LAAO device landing position. When describing the ostium diameters specific attention can be placed on the oval shape as the ability of the device to change it from a circular to an oval shape is limited. • Compare CT findings with clinical follow-up with specific interest for thromboembolic complications. Investigate if these can be related to suboptimal device position, trabeculations at the device landing zone, or contrast enhancement distal to the device. • Size of the LAA distal to the device can be measured and compared to the LAA size as measured before implantation. Possibly allowing for volumetric measurements of thrombus and to determine the ratio of contrast and thrombus distal to the LAAO device. | — |
