The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a small, finger-like extension of the atrium and its exclusion used as treatment strategy to prevent ischemic stroke. Existing holdfast devices may damage tissue, are unisized not adjustable. A novel device for LAA devoid these shortcomings was designed 3D-printed using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology with polyamide powder tested it on animal model. We selected SLS 3D printing due wid14e availability low production costs which could provide...
