LAAO / PVLO

LAAO / PVLO – Minimally Invasive Stroke Prevention for Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Discover Advanced, Affordable Heart Care Abroad

Overview

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) and Pulmonary Vein Isolation with LAAO (PVLO) are advanced non-surgical cardiac procedures designed to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib).

These minimally invasive heart treatments are ideal for international patients looking for safe, cost-effective alternatives to lifelong blood thinners like warfarin. With cutting-edge technology and world-class cardiologists, our hospitals deliver affordable heart care abroad without compromising on quality.

What Is LAAO (Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion)?

LAAO is a catheter-based procedure that seals the left atrial appendage (LAA) — a small pouch in the heart where blood clots commonly form in AFib patients. Sealing the LAA significantly reduces the risk of stroke and eliminates the need for long-term blood thinners.

LAAO devices used:

  • Watchman™
  • Amulet™
  • Lariat™

Benefits of LAAO:

  •  Long-term stroke prevention
  •  No need for lifelong anticoagulants
  •  Minimally invasive with faster recovery
  •  Ideal for patients at risk of bleeding
  •  Suitable for international cardiac patients

What Is PVLO (Pulmonary Vein Isolation with LAAO)?

PVLO is a hybrid cardiac procedure combining Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) with Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion. While LAAO reduces stroke risk, PVI helps correct the irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) caused by atrial fibrillation.

This combo treatment is ideal for patients who want to:

  • Restore normal heart rhythm
  • Prevent future strokes
  • Avoid complications from blood thinners
  • Undergo a one-time, comprehensive heart solution abroad

How LAAO/PVLO Procedures Work

  1. Catheter Insertion: Through the femoral vein in the groin
  2. Imaging Guidance: 3D mapping and fluoroscopy are used
  3. Device Deployment: LAA is sealed using a closure device
  4. (For PVLO): PVI is performed using ablation therapy

🕒 Procedure Time: 1–2 hours
Hospital Stay: 1–2 days
🏃‍♂️ Recovery Time: 3–7 days

  •  Board-certified cardiologists & electrophysiologists

LAAO / PVLO Cost for International Patients

The cost of LAAO or PVLO procedures abroad is significantly lower than in Western countries, with no compromise in safety or quality.

Cost Includes:

  • Diagnostic imaging (ECG, echocardiogram, CT)
  • Expert cardiology consultations
  • Watchman or other closure device
  • Electrophysiology lab usage
  • Hospital stay and nursing care
  • Post-operative follow-up
  • Medical tourism coordination

(Prices may vary depending on the device, medical condition, and hospital)

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be eligible for LAAO or PVLO if:

  • You have non-valvular atrial fibrillation
  • You are at high risk of stroke
  • You cannot take blood thinners long-term
  • You seek minimally invasive heart care abroad
  • You want a permanent stroke prevention solution

Risks & Safety

LAAO and PVLO are FDA-approved and safe but, like all procedures, carry some risks:

  • Minor bleeding or bruising at the catheter site
  • Temporary irregular heartbeat
  • Rare chance of device migration or infection

Our hospitals have high success rates with experienced specialists and full aftercare services for international patients.
