    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Medical Device Technology
    • Interventional Cardiology

    Background:

    • Atrial appendage management is crucial in preventing thromboembolic events.
    • Existing devices for atrial appendage closure have limitations.
    • A need exists for adaptable and effective atrial appendage occlusion solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, exchangeable atrial balloon device for atrial appendage management.
    • To detail the components and implantation technique of the device.
    • To discuss the potential advantages of this new device.

    Main Methods:

    • The device comprises an outer guide and a latex Foley urinary retention catheter.
    • The guide is surgically sutured into the atrial appendage.
    • The device is externalized through the chest wall for potential exchange or removal.

    Main Results:

    • The described device provides a method for atrial appendage occlusion.
    • The design allows for potential exchangeability of components.
    • Suturing into the atrial appendage ensures secure placement.

    Conclusions:

    • The described exchangeable atrial balloon device offers a new option for atrial appendage management.
    • The device's design may provide flexibility and safety in clinical practice.
    • Further studies are warranted to evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes of this device.
