Measure
AMPLATZER™ Cardiac Plug
Subjects who were implanted with AMPLATZER™ Cardiac Plug will be included in this arm. AMPLATZER™ Cardiac Plug: The AMPLATZER™ Cardiac Plug is a transcatheter, self-expanding device intended for use in preventing thrombus embolization from the left atrial appendage. The device is constructed from a nitinol mesh and consists of a lobe and a disc connected by a central waist. The device is designed to facilitate occlusion. The lobe has stabilizing wires to improve device placement and retention. The device has threaded screw attachments at each end for connection to the delivery and loading cables. The device has radiopaque markers at each end and at the stabilizing wires. Device Sizes: 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30 mm (lobe diameter) Delivery System: AMPLATZER TorqVue® 45º x 45º (sheath sizes 9, 10, or 13 Fr)
