Left atrial appendage closure outcomes in relation to atrial fibrillation patterns: a comprehensive analysis.

Objective: The effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) patterns on outcomes remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the influence of AF type on the risk of cardiocerebrovascular events after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) at long-term follow-up.

Methods: AF was categorized as paroxysmal AF (PAF) and non-PAF (NPAF).

Effect of congestive heart failure on safety and efficacy of left atrial appendage closure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of congestive heart failure (CHF) on safety and efficacy of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients.

Methods: A total of 401 patients who consecutively underwent LAAC with Watchman and LAmbre devices were divided into CHF (85 cases) and non-CHF (316 cases) groups. Comparisons between groups were performed against data.

Comparative analysis of left atrial appendage closure efficacy and outcomes by CHADS-VASc score group in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Background: Higher CHADS-VASc score is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), regardless of oral anticoagulation (OAC) status. However, whether this association still exists in patients undergoing left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is unknown. We evaluated the impact of CHADS-VASc score on LAAC efficacy and outcomes.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Yields Favorable Cardio- and Cerebrovascular Outcomes in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Prior Stroke.

Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and previous stroke are at significantly higher risk of stroke recurrence. Data on the efficacy of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) on these patients is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences of LAAC efficacy on long-term cardio- and cerebrovascular outcomes in NVAF patients with vs.

Safety and effectiveness of left atrial appendage closure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and prior major bleeding.

Objectives: To investigate safety and effectiveness of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in atrial fibrillation patients with prior major bleeding.

Methods: A total of 377 consecutive patients scheduled for LAAC with Watchman device were divided into bleeding group (n = 137) and non-bleeding group (n = 240). Data were compared between groups.
