Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An occlusion device is provided for occluding a left atrial appendage (LAA), including a compliant balloon defining a fluid-tight balloon chamber, and an actuating shaft, which is disposed at least partially within the balloon chamber for setting a distance between distal and proximal end portions of the balloon. A proximal LAA-orifice cover includes a frame and a covering fixed to the frame. An orifice-support stent is fixed to and extends distally from the proximal LAA-orifice cover, and is generally cylindrical when in a radially-expanded state. Other embodiments are also described.
