Left atrial appendage occlusion [PDF]

EuroIntervention, 2023
Prevention of stroke represents a goal of primary importance in health systems due to its associated morbidity and mortality. As several patient groups with increased stroke rates have been identified, multiple approaches have been developed and implemented: oral anticoagulation (OAC) for patients with atrial fibrillation, surgical and percutaneous ...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
The majority of embolic strokes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are caused by thrombi in the left atrial appendage. It is projected that strokes related to atrial fibrillation will markedly increase in the future unless effective ...

Left Atrial Appendage Closure: A Current Overview Focused on Technical Aspects and Different Approaches

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Several studies in literature have shown that 90% of emboli related to non-valvular atrial fibrillation originate from left atrial appendage. Percutaneous closure or surgical exclusion of left atrial appendage in patients with high bleeding and high ...
