Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2015
Stroke or systemic embolism is a devastating consequence of atrial fibrillation (AF) due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). AF causes thrombus formation in the LAA due to both the loss of atrial systole and the unique anatomic features of the LAA. Oral anticoagulation is a well established and effective therapy to reduce the risk

Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Current Cardiology Reports, 2010
Stroke prevention is the primary goal in atrial fibrillation (AF) given its clinical and socioeconomic impact. With AF, the prevalence of thromboembolic stroke continues to rise and there is an urgent need to develop better strategies of stroke prevention.

Impact of Preprocedural Computed Tomography on Left Atrial Appendage Closure Success: A Swiss-Apero Trial Subanalysis.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
BACKGROUND The benefit related to the use of preprocedural computed tomography angiography (CCTA) on top of periprocedural echocardiography to plan percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedures is still unclear.

3-Year Clinical Outcomes Comparing the Amulet vs Watchman FLX for Left Atrial Appendage Closure in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the SWISS-APERO Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
BACKGROUND No study thus far has compared Amulet with Watchman FLX for clinical outcomes beyond 1 year after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC).

Impact of Computational Modeling on Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Closure Efficiency and Outcomes.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
BACKGROUND When performing transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, peridevice leaks and device-related thrombus (DRT) have been associated with worse clinical outcomes-hence, their risk should be mitigated.

Persistent and Recurrent Device-Related Thrombus After Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
BACKGROUND Scarce data exist on the evolution of device-related thrombus (DRT) after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the incidence, predictors, and clinical impact of persistent and recurrent DRT in LAAC ...

Severity of Ischemic Stroke After Left Atrial Appendage Closure vs Nonwarfarin Oral Anticoagulants.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, 2023
BACKGROUND Strokes after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) prophylaxis are generally less severe than those after warfarin prophylaxis-thought to be secondary to more hemorrhagic strokes with warfarin. Hemorrhagic strokes are similarly infrequent with

A new implanter classification system for left atrial appendage closure from the European Left Atrial Appendage Closure Club (ELAACC).

EuroIntervention
This manuscript proposes a novel implanter classification system for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, aimed at overcoming the limitations of current anatomical classifications.

Concomitant Mechanical Aspiration and Appendage Closure for Recalcitrant Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi.

JAMA cardiology
Importance It is well appreciated that a small yet high-risk subset of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) develops persistent left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus despite optimal oral anticoagulation (OAC).
