The Amplatzer Amulet is a nitinol wire mesh self-expanding device shaped into a distal lobe and a proximal disc, which are connected by a flexible waist. The lobe of the device has 6–10 pairs of stabilizing wires and is implanted in the proximal 10–15
- Amulet is the first and only minimally invasive treatment option to offer immediate closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA), so blood-thinning medication isn't needed following implantation - The device helps to prevent blood clots from forming ...
that complete sealing of the LAA ostium should be aimed for by means of optimized device sizing and implantation technique, because all thrombi were found between the device disc and the large left upperpulmonary veinridge. The observed predilection site strongly suggests that incomplete sealing of ...

This new version is designed to facilitate the implantation process and minimize procedural or device-related complications. Methods The device was implanted in 17 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Clinical data were obtained at baseline, during the procedure, at discharge, at 30 ...
Case Presentation: An 80-year-old man with AF and mitral valve prolapse status post MitraClip presented to the hospital for difficulty breathing and palpitations two days after implantation of a 31mm Amplatzer Amulet LAAO device. Notably, he underwent failed attempt at Watchman LAAO implantation ...
We present the case of a patient in atrial fibrillation with a with previous Amulet Amplatzer left atrial appendage closure device implantation, scheduled for a mitral valve replacement. Prior CT angiography demonstrates the patency of the device. Before the intervention, we ask the following ...
