Primary Performance Endpoint Primary · 12-months or greater post-procedure, an average of 1.5 years

Left Atrial Appendage exclusion defined as absence of residual communication (≤3 mm residual communication with LAA) between the left atrium (LA) and the LAA as assessed by CTA or TEE imaging at the last follow-up visit. The images will be reviewed by an independent core lab using a standardized imaging protocol.
