Unsuccessful percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: A single center perspective.

[Safety and efficacy of Laager left atrial appendage occlusion system in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: a prospective, multicenter clinical study].

Initial Experience with Standalone Thoracoscopic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Using AtriClip Pro2: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study in Latvia

This small, heterogeneous, single-center series supports the technical feasibility of standalone thoracoscopic AtriClip Pro2 implantation in selected patients and warrants further evaluation in larger cohorts with longer clinical follow-up and standardized postoperative imaging.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation

Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a treatment option to prevent thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, it remains unclear whether LAAO offers superior efficacy and safety compared with oral anticoagulation for these patients. Objectives This study aimed to assess the eff...

Left atrial appendage occlusion devices: A contemporary approach to stroke prevention with a presentation of results in Serbia from 2014 to 2025

Introduction/Objective. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and one of the most significant independent risk factors for ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism. In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the left atrial appendage (LAA) is the predominant site of intracardia...

Effect of Left Atrial Appendage Closure on Cardiac Function

The findings support the safety of LAAC with respect to cardiac functional recovery and demonstrate that the procedure does not adversely affect cardiac performance in patients with AF receiving guideline-directed medical therapy.

Concomitant Versus Sequential Atrial Fibrillation Ablation and Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion.

BACKGROUND Increasingly, atrial fibrillation patients meet indications for rhythm control with catheter ablation and stroke prevention with left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of both procedures and compare in-hospital safety of concomitant catheter ablation plus LAAO with cumula...
