Correction to: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology
For Fig. 4, an internal working draft of the image depicting the device placed in the heart was erroneously provided during the production process. The original article has been updated to include the correct version.
Results from finite element analysis based on CT reconstructions of tissue. a Shows a cross section of the first principle stresses along the LAA wall as a tug force is simulated by applying a force orthogonal to the device center from a resting position over a distance of 10 mm and then 35 mm. According to uniaxial tensile relationships, a displacement of 35 mm corresponds to a force of 0.94 N, which is similar in magnitude to in vivo measured forces for the 20-mm device tug test. b Shows the movement of surrounding tissue as a result of this 35-mm displacement orthogonal tug force simulated at the device center. The greatest displacement occurs in the tissue immediately surrounding the device and in freely movable areas of the LAA. c Shows the relative forces experienced by the LAA tissue as a strain field
