This prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-blinded, open-label, single-arm, comparator study will enroll up to 100 eligible subjects from multiple sites undergoing LAAC procedure to evaluate the safety and performance of the KALPA™ mapping, imaging and navigation device in patients undergoing Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC).
All subjects will undergo pre-procedural cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) no more than 1 year prior to the performance of the LAAC procedure to evaluate left atrial appendage (LAA) anatomy. Before and after a transseptal puncture, the right atrium (RA), left atrial appendage (LAA), and left upper superior pulmonary vein (LUSPV) will be mapped using the KALPA™ system in combination with a commercially available catheter. Subjects will then undergo LAAC as per routine clinical care. Following implantation of the LAAC device, subjects will be assessed for the peri-device leak (PDL) with a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) as well as PDL assessment using the KALPA X™ system (the operator will be blinded to KALPA X™ PDL reading). The entire LAAC procedure will be conducted as customary practice using standard and approved off-the-shelf equipment (body surface electrodes, catheters, etc.) the operator will be blinded to the KALPA™ and KALPA X™ system information. The physician will neither use nor rely on any of the KALPA™ or KALPA X™system output for clinical decision-making. All patients will then undergo cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and TEE at 45 days following the index LAAC procedure to assess residual PDL. Intra-procedure PDL post-LAAC assessed by KALPA X™ will be compared to the detection of PDL by TEE. The value of PDL as measured by TEE compared to KALPA X™ at the time of the index LAAC procedure in predicting PDL at 45 days post-LAAC as assessed by CCTA will be compared.

Before and after a transseptal puncture, the right atrium (RA), left atrial appendage (LAA), and left upper superior pulmonary vein (LUSPV) will be mapped using the KALPA™ system (WS Software ver. 1.0.229-0 Source control ID: 65f1dbf7) in combination with a commercially available catheter. Subjects will then undergo LAAC as per routine clinical care. The entire LAAC procedure will be conducted as customary practice using standard and approved off-the-shelf equipment (body surface electrodes, catheters, etc.) the operator will be blinded to the KALPA™ and KALPA X™ system information.

Number of participants with KALPA X™ device-related adverse events
Safety of using KALPA X™ during a cardiac procedure, specifically the safety of using KALPA™ during the LAAC procedure, by collecting the records of device related AE's
Time frame: Up to 24 hours
LAA maximum diameter and perimeter assessed by KALPATM compared to cardiac CT
Measures of LAA maximum diameter and perimeter obtained by KALPATM performed during the LAAC procedure will be compared to these measurements obtained by the pre-procedure cardiac CT
Time frame: Up to 24 hours
Multi-Modality Assessment of Immediate Post-LAAC Peri-Device Leak (PDL) by TEE and KALPA X™
PDL measured by KALPA X™ (defined below) will be assessed compare to the PDL detected by TEE
Time frame: Up to 24 hours
Follow-up PDL
The predictive power of intra-procedural TEE and KALPA X™ for the detection of PDL will be compared to 45 day post-LAAC PDL as detected by TEE and CCTA
Time frame: Up to 45 days
