This is the Abbott Amplatzer Amulet left atrial appendage (LAA) occluder displayed at TCT 2018. It is currently in an FDA trial. DAIC spoke to one of the interventionalists involved in the trial. They said device implant procedure is substantially the same as the Watchman occluder, but he said the shape of the LAA is less important with the Amulet. He felt the device seats more securely than the Watchman. For more information on the Amulet Trial - https://www.dicardiology.com/content/st-jude-med
