If the source of your arrhythmia is found to be located in the LAA, Dr. Natale would want to isolate that area to block the errant signals originating from that source.
If he does isolate the LAA, I believe the statistics are 60% that your TEE results would show requiring either a watchman or long term use of blood thinners, possibly for life.
The other 40% of LAA isolated folks pass their TEE to not require either blood thinners or watchman.
This is my understanding.

Would theTEE be performed while you’re under anesthesia after having the LAA or is that a separate procedure time? And what is required for one to pass a TEE?

From reading the archives Natale won't do the Watchman in the same procedure as an LAA.

There are some here who have had Natale do them together. I'm sure it depends on the individual situation. For example: [www.afibbers.org]
