Peri-device leakage (PDL) closure after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure can be performed with a variety of devices. In our registry, detachable coils were the most frequent approach (42.3%), followed by the use of AMPLATZER Vascular Plug II (AVP, 29.8%). The procedure is associated with high technical and functional success. The maximum leak dimensions can be reduced substantially after closure. None of the patients presented with a leak >5 mm after closure. The procedure is associated with low in-hospital complication rates. TIA: transient ischaemic attack
