APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS TO IMPROVE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION OUTCOMES INVOLVING THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE

摘要

Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for monitoring AF episodes, delivering ATP pulses, and/or achieving electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) of a patient's heart and/or preventing thrombus formation after electrical isolation. For example, devices are provided that may implanted from within the left atrium, e.g., to isolate the LAA, prevent thrombus formation within the LAA, facilitate endothelialization, and/or deliver pacing.
