Dear Colleagues,

After the great success of last year's LAA, we are very delighted to invite you to LAA 2010. It is a focused workshop at CSI, the world's largest congress on Congenital & Structural Interventions — CSI.

Left Atrial Appendage closure for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation has been shown to be at least as effective as anticoagulation therapy. Two devices have CE mark and many others are already in clinical trials. This course is designed to give you an overview on all aspects of this treatment modality, from its background to current clinical data, how to perform the procedure and how to deal with complications.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Frankfurt,

Horst Sievert
Nina Wunderlich
