Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is effective for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and a HAS-BLED score of 3 or higher, using the Occlutech device (OD).
- In a study of 30 patients from 2012 to 2016, LAAC was successfully implanted in 93% of cases, with only minor complications like small leaks and one case of thrombus formation.
- The results indicated high procedural success and safety, as no patients experienced significant neurological issues or strokes during the follow-up period.
