Unconventional combination of left atrial appendage device occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation who needed concomitant catheter interventions for underlying structural heart disease

Unconventional combination of left atrial appendage device occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation who needed concomitant catheter interventions for underlying structural heart disease

Objectives: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in non-valvar atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces cardioembolic strokes. Despite increased risk, trials exclude valvar AF in structural heart diseases where clots extend beyond appendage. Methods: Patients with AF and relative risks for oral anticoagul...
