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 ...

Late Presentation of Pulmonary Artery-Left Atrial Appendage Fistula Formation After Left Atrial Appendage Device Closure

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice with indication for anticoagulation in those patients whose annual risk for thromboembolism is >2%. Left atrial appendage closure is growing as an alternative to anticoagulation.
