Thoracoscopic Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage
Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2015Objective 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 Nonagenarians
Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2022Nonagenarians 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 clip occlusion: Early clinical results
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010 OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation puts patients at significant risk for embolic stroke originating from the left atrial appendage. Few means are available for safe, effective, and durable left atrial appendage occlusion. A new clip device was evaluated with

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage
Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2020Atrial 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.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2021Purpose of review To review recent evidence evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), current guideline recommendations for LAAO use, performance of LAAO in comparison with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) and recently approved LAAO device.

The History of the Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2020Atrial 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

A History of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2018A 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), 2013La 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, 2003Introduction: 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, 2013Occlusion 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.
