Left atrial appendage closure is a cutting-edge technique and device that provides a much-needed solution for patients who require anticoagulation but suffer from bleeding complications. While anticoagulation is standard treatment for preventing strokes in patients with arrhythmias, it can cause devastating bleeding complications.

With appendage closure, patients can enjoy the benefits of oral anticoagulation without the risk of long-term bleeding complications. Dr. Hsieh is a leading expert in left atrial appendage closure in NSW and was among the first doctors in the region to access and implant the latest generation of devices, which are even safer to use.
