Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsBased on observational studies, LAAO may be an effective option to prevent cardioembolic events in CKD. However, CKD patients may have higher odds of AKI and in-hospital and long-term bleeding and mortality. The adverse clinical outcomes observed in CKD patients may be attributed to this population's high burden of comorbidities, especially among those with ERSD, rather than the LAAO procedure itself. To ensure maximum clinical benefit, careful patient selection, management, and surveillance involving multidisciplinary teams are essential for CKD patients undergoing LAAO.Graphical abstractTranscatheter Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (laao) Can Prevent Cardioembolic Events In Chronic Kidney Disease (ckd) Patients. However, Ckd Patients, Particularly Those With End-stage Renal Disease/dialysis (esrd), May Face Increased Odds Of Acute Kidney Injury, In-hospital And Long-term Bleeding, And Mortality. Notably, These Adverse Outcomes In Ckd Patients May Be Linked To Their High Comorbidity Burden, Particularly In Those With Esrd, Rather Than The Laao Procedure Itself.
