Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Debate Revisited [PDF]

Circulation, 2015
The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been deemed by some to be our “most lethal attachment,” and the concept of excluding it from systemic circulation has been thought to hold great promise. This concept has been around since 1948, when John Madden1 proclaimed it a plausible therapy for recurrent emboli in atrial fibrillation.

Acute Formation of Thrombus on a Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device Immediately After Detachment

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Clots can form on the left atrial surface of left atrial appendage closure devices, with subsequent thromboembolization. However, we are unaware of any reports of clots forming on the devices immediately after deployment.

Case report: Vein of Marshall–catheter ablation combined with left atrial appendage occlusion for treatment of atrial fibrillation

Heliyon
The utilization of the one-stop strategy for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) has been on the rise, but the combination of vein of Marshall catheter ablation with left atrial appendage occlusion has been rarely reported.

La orejuela izquierda como fuente de accidentes cerebrovasculares: cerrar (y cómo), o no cerrar (y por qué) [PDF]

, 2012
The left atrial appendage is considered the main source of emboli in strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Oral anticoagulant therapy significantly reduces the risk of cerebral embolic events compared to aspirin, but it is ...
