Left atrial appendage occlusion

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2018
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 1.5–2% of the general population and more than 8% of those older than 80 years. Because of the progressive ageing of our population, an exponential increase in incidence is expected over the next few decades.

Left atrial appendage occlusion

EuroIntervention, 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 ...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2013
La fibrilacion auricular de origen no valvular (FANV) es la arritmia mas frecuente en nuestro medio. Su incidencia guarda estrecha relacion con la edad, con una prevalencia cercana al 25% en pacientes mayores de 80 anos 1 .

Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Cardiology Clinics, 2013
Occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) may reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Trials comparing LAA occlusion to warfarin anticoagulation in patients with nonvalvular AF showed a reduction in hemorrhagic stroke, although an increase in safety events due to procedural complications.

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

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 FOLLOWING LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE ISOLATION

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
LAA isolation is an important adjunctive ablation strategy in patients with non-paroxysmal AF. Given the high prevalence of poor contractile function of the LAA, the risk of stroke in this cohort is high and OAC is recommended despite maintenance of SR.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Its Role in Stroke Prevention.

Stroke
Atrial fibrillation is a frequent cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke. The left atrial appendage is a finger-like extension originating from the main body of the left atrium and the main location of ...

Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation, 2023
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke.

Safety and Feasibility of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation and Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion at Centers With Versus Without Onsite Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are traditionally performed in centers with onsite cardiothoracic surgery (CTS), expanding these procedures to centers without CTS (Wo‐CTS) raises questions about procedural ...
