A History of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2018
A new era in antiembolic therapy has been initiated by the growing numbers of device-based therapies. Early concerns surrounding eliminating this enigmatic structure have not proven true. Other benefits are being further evaluated. Many other questions remain, such as whether there is a device-specific outcome effect or whether it is a class effect ...

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 .

Mechanical Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2003
Introduction: Oral anticoagulation therapy reduces significantly the risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, effective oral anticoagulation therapy is not feasible in all patients. The interventional occlusion of the left atrial appendage may reduce the risk of thromboembolism in the latter patients.

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.

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.

Transcatheter Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2013
The left atrial appendage is a primary source of thrombi in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion/exclusion is a novel technology with the potential as an alternative approach for lifelong anticoagulation to prevent potential catastrophic embolic stroke. This article discusses important evaluation,

Thoracoscopic Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage

Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2015
Objective Left atrial appendage (LAA) plays a crucial role in the etiopathogenesis and the prevention of the stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). This paper presents our first experience with thoracoscopic LAA occlusion using an external clip.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in the Spotlight

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2015
![Figure][1] The significance of the left atrial appendage (LAA) as the predominant source of cardiac thromboemboli associated with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and its increasingly recognized direct role in arrhythmogenesis has led to intensive clinical investigation of the LAA ...

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.
