Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A View From the UK [PDF]

, 2020
AF is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events, which is usually managed with oral anticoagulation therapy. However, despite a broad range of anticoagulant options and improved uptake in anticoagulation over the past decade, there are ...

Modification of the left atrial appendage and its role in stroke risk reduction with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders encountered by clinicians in clinical practice. Patients with atrial fibrillation are at risk of cerebrovascular and systemic embolic events, which may be attenuated by commencement ...

Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Versus Watchman Device for Stroke Prophylaxis (Amulet IDE)

Circulation, 2021
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an alternative to chronic oral anticoagulation to reduce stroke risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

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.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure versus Non-Warfarin Oral Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation: 4-Year Outcomes of PRAGUE-17.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2021
BACKGROUND The PRAGUE-17 trial demonstrated that left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) was non-inferior to non-warfarin oral anticoagulants (NOAC) for preventing major neurological, cardiovascular or bleeding events in high-risk patients with atrial ...
