LAA Closure Device Selection Index: Explanation and Clinical Context The LAA Closure Device Selection Index is a composite score designed to assist clinicians in selecting the most appropriate left atrial appendage (LAA) closure device based on patient-specific factors. This index incorporates the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score, HAS-BLED score, LAA diameter, and LAA depth to provide a tailored recommendation for device selection. Higher index scores suggest suitability for devices like the Watchman FLX, while lower scores may indicate appropriateness for devices such as the Amulet or Lariat.
