Abstract
Percutaneous left atrial appendage device closure is currently under evaluation as a method for reducing stroke risk in
patients with atrial fibrillation and contraindications for long-term oral anticoagulation therapy. We present two cases of
successful implantation of new left atrial appendage occluder - Amplatzer Cardiac Plug.
