Left atrial appendage occlusion with the AMPLATZER ™ Amulet™ device: one-year follow-up from the prospective global Amulet Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: In the global prospective Amulet Registry of patients at high-risk of stroke and bleeding, the annualised ischaemic stroke rate was 2.9%. The LAA was sealed in 98.4% after 1-3 months and device related thrombus was observed in 1.7% of cases with only a minority of all patients on anticoagulation treatment.
