An occlusion device () is provided for occluding a left atrial appendage (LAA), including a compliant balloon () defining a fluid-tight balloon chamber (), and an actuating shaft (), which is disposed at least partially within the balloon chamber () for setting a distance between distal and proximal end portions () of the balloon (). A proximal LAA-orifice cover () includes a frame () and a covering () fixed to the frame (). An orifice-support stent () is fixed to and extends distally from the proximal LAA-orifice cover (), and is generally cylindrical when in a radially-expanded state. Other embodiments are also described.
