Peri- and Post-procedural Anticoagulation with Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Devices
Heart Int. 2023 Jun 21;17(1):54-59. doi: 10.17925/HI.2023.17.1.54. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn patients with atrial fibrillation and high stroke risk, anticoagulation with direct oral anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists is the standard of care for stroke prevention. The benefit of anticoagulation is driven by attenuating the risk of thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion offers an alternative therapeutic strategy for stroke prevention in patients with high bleeding risk or contraindications for long-term anticoagulation. This review of the current literature deline...
