LAAc using an integrated approach combining ultrasound and live fluoroscopy, as provided by the TrueFusion™, is safe and feasible. Target-oriented device navigation and synchronized image orientation as provided by fusion imaging may potentially be beneficial regarding radiation time, contrast dye and periprocedural risk of suboptimal device positioning.
