Po-716-08 real world clinical outcomes of left atrial appendage occlusion device in the octogenarian and nonagenarian patients
Few trials evaluated real world clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving the Watchman device for left atrial appendage closure. In the recent Ewolution trial, mean age of patients was 73.4 + 8 years. Although few patients> 80 years were included, the safety and efficacy in terms of clinical outcomes of stroke, bleeding and mortality in the octogenarian and nonagenarian population specifically has not been reported in real world setting.
