Does left atrial appendage occlusion with the AMPLATZER Cardiac Plug prevent AF-related thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Patients with atrial fibrillation
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with the AMPLATZER Cardiac Plug
Procedural success and prevention of AF-related thromboembolismhard clinical
Left atrial appendage occlusion with the AMPLATZER Cardiac Plug demonstrates high procedural success for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, potentially allowing for reduced antithrombotic therapy and fewer bleeding events.
In this multicentre study, LAAO with the ACP showed high procedural success and a favourable outcome for the prevention of AF-related thromboembolism. Modification in antithrombotic therapy after LAAO may result in reduction of bleeding events.
