Video Summary
In the March 2022 case scenario video for the LAAO Registry, the discussion revolves around the follow-up requirements in the event of a complication that necessitates the removal of the left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device during the base procedure episode of care. The scenario involves an 81-year-old female with a history of a stroke and permanent atrial fibrillation. During device insertion, her left atrium was punctured, resulting in a pericardial effusion. The patient underwent open-heart surgery to repair the puncture and remove the LAAO device. The video clarifies that despite the device removal in the base episode of care, a 45-day follow-up is still required. However, subsequent 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups are not necessary if the device was removed before discharge. If the device is explanted after discharge, only the next follow-up interval assessment is required. This information is provided by the LAAO Registry Case Scenario for March 2022.
