The feasibility and safety of combining atrial septal defect/patent foramen ovale and left atrial appendage closure: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionAtrial Septal Defect/Patent Foramen Ovale (ASD/PFO) occlusion is performed to prevent paradoxical embolism and reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.

The Efficacy of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Thoracoscopic Epicardial AF Ablation for Improving Rhythm and Cardiac Function in Patients With Heart Failure. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Thoracoscopic epicardial AF ablation in heart failure improved LV systolic function irrespective of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Concomitant surgical LAAO was associated with fewer LPV reconnections without worsening postoperative diastolic function, while atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence was similar between groups.

Left atrial appendage occlusion

Heart, 2014
Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for stroke and thromboembolism prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a significant advancement in the field of cardiovascular disease. Prevention and avoidance of the devastating consequences of thromboembolic complications from AF continues to be central in the management of these ...

Sutureless technique using the left atrial appendage for left pulmonary vein occlusion after catheter ablation

Surgical Case Reports, 2020
Background Pulmonary vein stenosis or occlusion is a rare but one of the most devastating complications after catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias, and surgical repair is an option in severe cases.

Intraoperative echocardiographic contrast opacifies the left atrial appendage and assists in surgical exclusion

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2022
Surgical exclusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation is frequently incomplete and remains to be optimized. We present a man who did not tolerate anticoagulant and failed percutaneous occlusion. Intraoperative

Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis of Time to Event Data. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
