摘要
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been reported many therapeutic effects with regard to its safety and efficacy, and the number of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation undergoing LAAC is increasing worldwide. Although it is a highly safe procedure, further improvements are expected and preoperative planning is extremely important. For this purpose, transesophageal echocardiography has been mainly performed so far, however, nowadays, it is recommended to determine a more optimal treatment strategy combined with computed tomography. Preoperative CT predicts not only the risk of the intervention based on anatomical features of the left atrial appendage (LAA) but also the device type and size, sheath type, optimal location for septal puncture and pre-procedurally clarifies the left atrium and LAA dimensions. Furthermore, postoperative CT can evaluate device-related thrombus and peri-device leak, making it possible to observe the postoperative course using less invasive methods. This study reviews the practical utility of CT in pre- and post-LAAC.
