SYSTEM FOR LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION
Disclosed is an occlusion device for use in a body lumen such as the left atrial appendage. The occlusion device includes an occlusion member and may also include a stabilizing member. The stabilizing member inhibits compression of the left atrial appendage, facilitating tissue in-growth onto the occlusion member. Methods are also disclosed.
1 . An adjustable device deployment system, for implanting an implantable device within a tubular structure in the body comprising: an implantable device, said device being movable between a reduced cross section and an enlarged cross section; a sheath having a proximal end and a distal end and a lumen adapted to receive the implantable device; a deployment catheter adapted to extend through the sheath having an elongate flexible body with a proximal end and a distal end; and a deployment line adapted to extend through the deployment catheter releasably attached to the implantable device.
