Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion during Cardiac Surgery to Prevent Stroke.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
BACKGROUND Surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage has been hypothesized to prevent ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, but this has not been proved.

Intracardiac Echocardiography-guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a suitable alternative to oral anticoagulant therapy to prevent stroke in patients with AF. Most procedures are performed under transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) guidance, which facilitates transseptal ...

1% Aspiration, 99% Perspiration

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
A 71-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent insertion of a left atrial appendage occlusion device. Before release, a large thrombus was noted within the left atrium, attached to the left atrial appendage occluder delivery system.

Case report: pulmonary artery perforation during transseptal puncture for left atrial appendage closure requires emergency cardiac operation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Patients with atrial fibrillation who take a high bleeding risk and are not candidates for oral anticoagulation therapy are increasingly being referred for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) as an alternative method of stroke prevention.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of left atrial appendage occlusion compared with pharmacological strategies for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2016
Background Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a promising therapy for stroke prophylaxis in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) but its cost-effectiveness remains understudied. This study evaluated the cost- effectiveness of LAAO
