Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a left atrial appendage occluder. Background technique
[0002] Atrial fibrillation (abbreviated as atrial fibrillation) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and with age, the incidence of atrial fibrillation continues to increase, reaching 10% in people over 75 years old.
[0003] During atrial fibrillation, the frequency of atrial excitation reaches 300-600 beats per minute, the heartbeat frequency is often fast and irregular, and the atrium loses effective systolic function. In atrial fibrillation, the contractility of the left atrial appendage decreases, coupled with the morphological characteristics of the left atrial appendage itself and the unevenness of the muscle trabeculae in the left atrial appendage, the blood flow in the left atrial appendage produces vortices and slows down the flow rate, which promotes the formation of thrombus. In patients with no...
