Overview

This broadcast brought together faculty of global standing to share experiences of optimising procedural workflow with the WATCHMAN FLXTM.

 

With a focus on procedural considerations (including pre-, peri-, and post-procedure), in addition to providing expert insight on tools to support optimal patient care, this session provided an authoritative update on the management of LAAC and treatment strategies for patients at high risk of stroke. 

 

In a series of presentations and discussions moderated by Dr Sergio Berti (Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio, IT), Dr Xavier Iriart (University Hospital of Bordeaux, FR) focussed on CT acquisition techniques and how to evaluate, whilst Dr Xavier Millan (Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, ES) explored the WATCHMANTM TruPlanTM software for LAAC pre-procedural planning.

 

Prof Carsten Skurk (Charité Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, DE) presented a challenging case focussing on optimising the TSP and WM FLX implanting in difficult anatomies, before Prof Jens Erik Nielsen Kudsk (Aarhus Universitetshospital, Skejby, Aarhus, DK) considered the role of cardiac CT in follow-up after LAA closure.

This broadcast is supported by:

Xavier Millan

Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, ES

Dr. Millán obtained his Degree in Medicine in 2006 and completed his cardiology residency at the Vall Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona. He later completed a 3-year fellowship in Cardiac Intervention, divided into a first year at the Hospital de la Santa Creu y Sant Pau (Barcelona) and 2 years at the Montreal Heart Institute (Quebec, Canada) through scholarships obtained from the Fundación Martínez- Escudero and Erasmus Mundus Novadomus. Simultaneously, he obtained the Diploma in Statistics Applied to Research in Health Sciences, from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

He obtained the title of Doctor Cum Laude for a thesis focused on the percutaneous treatment of paravalvular leaks (UAB, 2018) and his scientific activity has led to the publication of more than 40 scientific articles and multiple communications at national and international conferences.
