Abstract

This manuscript proposes a novel implanter classification system for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, aimed at overcoming the limitations of current anatomical classifications. By integrating essential anatomical and functional details, this new classification system strives to provide a comprehensive framework that is both user-friendly and effective in distinguishing between complex and standard LAA anatomies, facilitating a common language among implanters and imagers, and predicting procedural risks.
