Transcatheter left atrial appendage closure has emerged as a non-pharmacological alternative to long-term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in appropriately selected patients with AF. In this concise review article, the Food and Drug Administration-approved and some other left atrial appendage closure devices that are under investigation are discussed. Currently, Watchman Flx and Amplatzer Amulet are the only two devices that have been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. A brief overview of device designs, clinical data on efficacy and safety, major limitations of left atrial appendage closure devices, and perspectives on future direction are provided. The current generation of devices is effective; however,...
