Some issues Dr. Preeti Desai, MD can help you with:

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC)

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a device implantation procedure that reduces the risk of stroke for patients who have atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats out of rhythm. Atrial fibrillation causes blood to collect in the left atrial appendage, a small sac located in the top left chamber of the heart. The blood that collects in this appendage can form clots and cause stroke when pumped out of the heart.

To implant the device, a long, flexible tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a large vein in the groin and advanced to the heart. Once the tube reaches the left side of the heart, X-ray is used to guide a thinner catheter into the left atrial appendage. The tiny device is then passed through the tube and into the appendage. When the doctor has made sure it is in the right place, she takes the catheter out, and the procedure is completed.

This minimally invasive procedure usually requires a hospital stay of at least one day. Normal activities may be resumed within a few days. About 45 days following implantation, a test will be done to determine whether the device has closed the left atrial appendage. Check-ups have to be performed every year to make sure the device is in place.

I have been a patient of Dr Desai since late 2020 or early 2021.  Initially, I thought the care she provided to be equal to other cardiologists I had used in Boerne/San Antonio.  The office staff, nurses and PA's have always been excellent  friendly, professional, prompt, knowledgeable, caring, great to communicate with.  When I first met Dr Desai, she would personally perform my reoccurring office visits.  As time went on, her "personal" approach decreased.  The more time I was in her care, the less I would see of her.  In her place, PA's took over and provided wonderful care.  Maybe that is why Dr Desai quit providing the personal touch.  It is not that she has to see me on every office visit but at least do so a couple of times per year.  I even had to ask her one time when she was at the check out desk if she was upset/mad at me as I never see her on my visits.  She said she would be present at my next and she was.  Unfortunately, after that, seldom did I see her.  Additionally, the check in process is historically quick and prompt.  And in all fairness, most of the time getting back to an exam room goes as one might expect.  However, there have been times I have had to wait in the entry area for over two hours.  My time is just as valuable as anyone else's - including the doctors.  If Dr Desai is going to be two hours late, she should have her staff call her patients or send a text, notifying them of the two hour delay.  In closing, if you wish to ensure you will be seeing the "doctor" on your visits, then I would highly recommend you continue to search for another cardiologist.  Sincerely, C Shanks
