Percutaneous Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2003
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at high risk of stroke. More than 15% of all strokes are due to atrial fibrillation. So far anticoagulation is the treatment of choice with a risk reduction of almost 70%. On the other hand, anticoagulation has many side effects such as intracranial or gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

EPICARDIAL CLIP CLOSURE OF THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE: REPLY [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Epicardial surgical clip is showed to be a safe and effective tool in order to achieve a complete left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion thus reducing the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Historically, other methods as surgical ligation, internal oversewing or external stapling showed to be largely uneffective with an incidence of ...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic oral anticoagulation therapy is the standard therapy for preventing thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, oral anticoagulation has been associated with an increased risk of bleeding events, and despite the ...

Left atrial appendage closure with amplatzer cardiac plug in atrial fibrillation: initial European experience [PDF]

, 2011
In most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke, there is thrombotic embolization from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Percutaneous closure of the LAA is a novel alternative for the treatment of patients with AF at a high risk of stroke, in ...
