Left atrial appendage occlusion [PDF]

open access: yesEuroIntervention, 2017
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a first-line therapy for stroke prevention in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF). While patients at high risk for bleeding or patients with previous bleeding have the highest relative risk reduction from LAAO, it is the younger patients with a high lifetime bleeding risk who benefit from the ...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Nonagenarians

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2022
Nonagenarians constitute a fast-growing and high-risk segment of the population, with scarce data on specific outcomes for percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). The aim of the present paper was to assess the outcomes of nonagenarian patients undergoing LAAO from the prospective global Amplatzer Amulet observational study.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2020
Atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a therapeutic option for thromboembolic prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who have contraindications to oral anticoagulation (OAC) or high risk of bleeding. Traditionally, thrombus in the LAA has been considered a contraindication for LAA occlusion.

The History of the Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a source of fascination for more than 100 years. Most early investigations centered on the mechanisms of the arrhythmia (reentry versus automaticity; site of origin; approaches to treatment or prevention; and the clinical consequences), specifically tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy and the potential for lethal events

Republished: Left atrial appendage occlusion

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2015
ABSTRACTLeft atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for stroke and thromboembolism prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a significant advancement in the field of cardiovascular disease. Prevention and avoidance of the devastating consequences of thromboembolic complications from AF continues to be central in the management of these
