How much should the device be compressed to meet the size pass criteria?

The correct answer is based on the size pass criteria established for the device used in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion procedures. The indication of compressing the device by 10-30% of its original size ensures that it effectively fits within the dimensions of the left atrial appendage while allowing for sufficient expansion to secure its position. This compression range balances the need for a snug fit to reduce the risk of peri-device leaks with the requirement for adequate device expansion to ensure optimal function and prevent complications. It reflects the practical and clinical considerations necessary for achieving successful device deployment in patients, ensuring both efficacy in occlusion and safety during and after the procedure.
