Comprehensive LAAO Treatments
At Richard Martinez, MD, we specialize in providing comprehensive Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) treatments. LAAO is a highly effective procedure that reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Understanding LAAO
The Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) is a small pouch in the heart where blood can pool and form clots. These blood clots can then travel to the brain, causing a stroke. LAAO is a minimally invasive procedure that involves sealing off the LAA to prevent the formation of clots.
The Importance of LAAO
For patients with atrial fibrillation, LAAO can significantly reduce the risk of stroke. Traditional stroke prevention methods, such as long-term anticoagulant therapy, may have drawbacks for some patients. LAAO provides a suitable alternative, offering long-term protection without the need for blood-thinning medications.
The LAAO Procedure
The LAAO procedure involves the use of advanced technologies to deliver a device, such as a Watchman™ implant, to the LAA. With the device properly placed, it seals off the LAA, preventing blood clots from escaping. The procedure is performed under guided imaging and usually takes about 1-2 hours.
