Ole De Backer, TCT 2022: FEops HEARTguide™ Computational Modelling for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, the PREDICT LAA trial
The PREDICT LAA trial aimed to examine whether cardiac computed tomography- based FEops HEARTguide™ computational modelling would benefit clinical outcomes when planning for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. In this touchCARDIO interview, we speak with Dr Ole De Backer (Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark) to discuss the PREDICT LAA trial and the next steps.
The abstract entitled ‘The Value of FEops HEARTguide™ Computational Modeling in the Planning of Percutaneous LAA Closure: The PREDICT LAA Trial’ was presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, 16 – 19, September 2022.
Questions:
- What were the aims, design and eligibility criteria of the PREDICT LAA Trial? (0:18)
- What were the primary and secondary endpoints and how well were they achieved? (1:26)
- What questions remain unanswered and what future studies are planned? (4:56)
