Abstract
A device for closing the left atrial appendage. The device has a flexible and elongate pulling element fixed to a flexible material layer connected fixed to a self-expanding stent. The closure implant can be drawn back into the lumen of a catheter by the pulling element, and in so doing the stent framework can be transferred into a compressed state. The device enables a monitored and controllable release of the closure implant.
