Abstract
The present application relates to an occlusion device for occluding a left atrial appendage. The device has a stem with an elongate tubular body and a central lumen that extends from a proximal end to a distal end with a proximal portion arranged at the proximal end of the stem, The proximal portion is arranged to engage with an opening of the left atrial appendage. The device includes an expandable member arranged at the distal end of the stem. The central lumen of the stem is in fluid communication with the expandable member and the expandable member is arranged to be positioned inside a left atrial appendage. The expandable member is operable to at least partially expand and displace the proximal portion in a direction towards the expandable member.
