® announced the successful first implantation of its ® Left Atrial Appendage Closure System in Hong Kong, China in July. The groundbreaking procedure was performed at Canossa Hospital - Hong Kong Asia Heart Centre, marking a significant milestone in the adoption of next-generation technology in the region.
The AnchorMan® LAAC system was used to significantly reduce the risk of stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation by sealing off the left atrial appendage, demonstrating exceptional device performance and procedural success. At Canossa Hospital - Hong Kong Asia Heart Centre, the procedure was led by Professor LAM Yat Yin and Dr. Ivan WONG Man Ho, who successfully implanted the device in an elderly patient using a minimally invasive approach. The patient exhibited rapid postoperative recovery with no complications, underscoring the efficacy of the system.
We are honored to collaborate with Canossa Hospital - Hong Kong Asia Heart Centre and distinguished key opinion leaders from China to introduce the AnchorMan® system. These landmark procedures reinforce our commitment to providing cutting-edge cardiovascular solutions that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
We would like to extend our appreciation to the clinical teams for their exceptional skill and commitment to advancing structural heart disease treatment.
