LAA device compression and LAA leakage. LAA device compression and LAA leakage. Correlation between LAA closure device compression rate (%, as assessed on angiography postimplantation) and incidence of LAA leakage as observed at 3 months multislice CT follow-up. In case of 10%–20% device compression, successful LAA closure was obtained in 37 out of 38 cases (97%); leakage into the LAA was more frequently observed in case of LAA device undercompression or overcompression.
