Research Progress of CT Cardiac Angiography in Follow-up after Left Atrial Appendage Closure
Left atrial appendage closure(LAAC)has become the primary strategy to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation,but the incidence of postoperative complications is still high.Therefore,it is vital to detect postoperative complications regularly.Compared with transesophageal echocardiography(TEE),cardiac CT angiography(CCTA)has the advantages of high resolution,no need for sedation,and non-invasiveness,which is the preferred method of follow-up after LAAC.The research progresses of complications and endothelialization after left atrial appendage closure with CCTA were reviewed in this article.
