Left atrial appendage closure device

A left atrial appendage closure device, comprising:

• an expandable framework having a plurality of struts disposed about a central longitudinal axis, the plurality of struts being joined together at a proximal hub and a distal hub;
• wherein the expandable framework is configured to shift from a constrained configuration toward an expanded configuration through a plurality of configurations;
• wherein, in a first configuration, a first segment of the plurality of struts extends distally from the distal hub to a first bend and a second segment of the plurality of struts extends distally and radially outward from the first bend;
• wherein, in a second configuration, the second segment of the plurality of struts, if swept circumferentially around the central longitudinal axis, defines a generally conical shape tapering radially outward in a distal direction from the first bend toward a second bend.

A left atrial appendage closure device, comprising:

• an expandable framework configured to shift between a constrained configuration and an expanded configuration, the expandable framework having a plurality of struts disposed about a central longitudinal axis, the plurality of struts being joined together at a proximal hub and a distal hub;
• wherein, in the expanded configuration:
• a distal portion of the expandable framework includes a first segment of the plurality of struts extending distally from the distal hub to a first bend, and a second segment of the plurality of struts extending from the first bend to a second bend;
• the distal hub is disposed proximal of the first bend;
• and
• the first segment and the second segment form an obtuse angle opening inwardly toward an interior of the expandable framework.
