Minimally Invasive Standalone Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Atrial Fibrillation: Procedural Approaches and Complications [PDF]

J Clin Med
The left atrial appendage is well recognized as the site of thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, in patients who are either unsuitable for long-term oral anticoagulation or in whom this therapy is inefficient, left atrial ...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A View From the UK [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2020
AF is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events, which is usually managed with oral anticoagulation therapy. However, despite a broad range of anticoagulant options and improved uptake in anticoagulation over the past decade, there are ...

Feasibility of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2020
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures in patients with persistent left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus.The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common site of thrombus formation in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF).
