Fig. 6 — LOVE - axial (panel a), − sagittal (panel b), and - coronal (panel c) reformations of a 80-year-old male patient who underwent cardiac CTA 8 months after implantation of a WATCHMAN® LAA occlusion device. Panels a and c show a small peri-device leak <3 mm at the cranial LAA entry causing complete contrast filling of the LAA (white arrow). Panel b demonstrates the correct positioning of the device with complete lobe coverage, as indicated by the correctly positioned sealing part (proximal cap of the WM device) parallel to the plane of the LAA ostium (red line). Due to the presence of the peri-device leak the assessment of endothelialization is not feasible with cardiac CTA
