Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Watchman Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device: Results from a Multicenter Registry

Abstract

AF ablation is a feasible and safe in patients with preexisting Watchman LAAO device. Electrical isolation of the LAA could be difficult and when attempted can result in increased risk of short-term peri-device leak and recurrence of AT/AF in almost all patients.
