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.

Stroke Prevention With Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Cardiac Surgery Patients Without Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized and Propensity-Score Studies

Circulation. Cardiovascular Interventions
BACKGROUND: The role of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients without previous atrial fibrillation (AF) is not established. This meta-analysis was conducted on patients with normal sinus rhythm who underwent cardiac surgery, with and without

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,
