I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the latest thinking about the Abbott Aplatzer Amulet LAA ocluder device. I just noticed this press release (dated Aug. 16, 2021) from Abbott:
Abbott's Amplatzer Amulet Device Approved by FDA
In view of recent (and earlier) discussions on this forum about post-Watchman aspirin/NOAC use, am particularly curious about their claim, "Before this approval, the only minimally invasive option for LAA occlusion for U.S. physicians and their patients was a solution with a single component to seal the LAA that requires blood-thinning drugs to heal and additional patient monitoring to ensure closure. In contrast, Abbott's Amulet uses dual-seal technology to completely and immediately seal the LAA. Amulet recipients do not need to use blood-thinning medication following the procedure."
Thanks and best wishes, Lance
