The utilization of two LAAO devices in bilobed appendage anatomy, where a single device may not be sufficient, is possible, although it poses a challenge because of the lack of technical expertise and limited published evidence. Transoesophageal imaging can serve as a valuable tool for assessing the precise anatomy of the LAA and guide the selection and placement of the occlusion devices.
