Recorded during HRS 2025, #HRStv host Mikhael F. El-Chami, MD, FHRS is joined by Julia H. Indik, MD, PhD, FHRS and Christopher R. Ellis, MD, FHRS to highlight the 2025 SCAI/HRS Clinical Practice Guidelines on Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Closure. These newly developed guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations on:

• Post-procedural management
