Session 1.7 – Presentation & Discussion: LAA Management in the Age of PFA
In this panel discussion, chaired by Julian Chun (Frankfurt, DE), presenter Boris Schmidt (Frankfurt, DE) and panelists Andrea Sarkozy (Brussels, BE) and Devi Nair (Jonesboro, US) explore the evolving landscape of concomitant PFA and LAA closure. The faculty debate patient selection for concomitant procedures , with Devi Nair outlining her preference for performing ablation prior to device implantation in 90% of cases to avoid device interaction. The discussion covers post-procedural anticoagulation strategies , the risks associated with electrical isolation of the appendage without mechanical closure, and the caution required when performing empiric linear lesions such as the posterior mitral line.
