Questions about LAA closure (1/2): 1. TEE underestimates sizing- are there more patients ineligible for closure related to CT vs. TEE sizing as we screen more patients with CT? 2. Sizing of elliptical LAA vs. circular LAA on CT? E.g. 30 x 18 vs. 25 x 24 mm

2/2: 3. Despite good coverage on 45-day TEE, penetration of contrast seen on 45-day CT more often- how can we understand this better to tailor DAPT vs. OAC continuation or discontinuation. Thoughts? @MCoylewright @AGoldsweig @anvoramd @Drdevignair @DJ_Lakkireddy @drrakeshg1
