Background: There is a paucity of data regarding the optimal timing of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and whether scheduling delays increase the risk for adverse outcomes.
Objectives: This study sought to assess the incidence and predictors of adverse events among patients awaiting LAAC.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study assessed all patients who underwent LAAC from January 2017 to March 2020.

- The study analyzes Ioncell-F regenerated cellulose fibers, focusing on their structural properties using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS).
- The fibers show uniformity at a 500 nm scale, with increased crystallite orientation further from the fiber center due to specific extrusion and stretching processes.
- However, the overall crystallinity remains consistent across the entire cross section of the fibers.
Background: Peridevice leak (PDL) after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) portends adverse outcomes.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence, predictors, clinical implications, and temporal evolution of PDL after LAAC.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included all patients who underwent LAAC with Watchman FLX and had no PDL detected at the time of implantation.
