Combining Watchman left atrial appendage closure and catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: multicentre registry results of feasibility and safety during implant and 30 days follow-up
ConclusionThe outcomes from these international, multicentre registries support the feasibility and safety of performing combined procedures of ablation and Watchman LAAC for patients with non-valvular AF and high stroke risk. Further data are needed on long-term outcomes for the hybrid technique on all-cause stroke and mortality.

Sex-related differences in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsWomen who underwent catheter ablation of AF might experience lower efficacy and a higher risk of stroke/TIA and major complications than men. The reasons for these sex-related differences need to be further studied.

Comparative data on left atrial appendage occlusion efficacy and clinical outcomes by age group in the Amplatzer ™ Amulet™ Occluder Observational Study
ConclusionsDespite the increased risk for ischaemic stroke with increasing age in AF patients, LAAO reduced the risk for ischaemic stroke compared with the predicted rate across all age groups without differences in procedural SAEs.

European Heart Rhythm Association Practical Guide on the use of new oral anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are an alternative for vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) to prevent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Both physicians and patients will have to learn how to use these drugs effectively and safely in clinical practice. Many unresolved questions on how to optimally use these drugs in specific clinical situations remain. The European Heart Rhythm Association set out to coordinate a unified way of informing physicians on the use of the different NOACs. A writing group listed 15 topics of concrete clinical scenarios and formulated as practical answers as possible based on ...

Novel oral anticoagulants in a real-world cohort of patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation
Conclusion In this prospective observational study, anticoagulation with NOACs following AF catheter ablation was safe and effective at long-term follow-up. Fast onset of action makes NOACs especially attractive in patients without effective anticoagulation on admission and in patients following periprocedural complications.

Combined catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure as a hybrid procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
Conclusions The combination of CA and percutaneous LAAC in a single procedure is technically feasible in patients with symptomatic drug-refractory AF, high risk of stroke, and contraindications to OACs, although it is associated with a significant risk of major complications.

Improved outcomes with European Society of Cardiology guideline-adherent antithrombotic treatment in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation: a report from the EORP-AF General Pilot Registry
Conclusion Even in this cohort with high overall rates of oral anticoagulation use, ESC guideline-adherent antithrombotic management is associated with significantly better outcomes, including those related to mortality and TE, as well as the composite endpoint of ‘cardiovascular death, any TE or bleeding’. These contemporary observations emphasize the importance of guideline implementation, and adherence to the 2012 ESC guidelines for stroke prevention in AF.

Role of insertable cardiac monitors in anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of bleeding
Conclusion In AF patients with high bleeding risk, ICM-guided rhythm control with AADs and assessment of AF burden may allow safe discontinuation of OACs.

Hospitalizations in patients with atrial fibrillation: an analysis from ROCKET AF
Conclusion Nearly 1 in 7 of the moderate-to-high-risk patients with AF enrolled in this trial was hospitalized within 2 years, and both AF and bleeding were rare causes of hospitalization. Further research is needed to determine whether care pathways directed at comorbid conditions among AF patients could reduce the need for and costs associated with hospitalization.

Self-reported physical activity and major adverse events in patients with atrial fibrillation: a report from the EURObservational Research Programme Pilot Survey on Atrial Fibrillation (EORP-AF) General Registry
Conclusion</div>Atrial fibrillation patients taking regular exercise were associated with a lower risk of all-cause death, even when we considered various subgroups, including gender, elderly age, symptomatic status, and stroke risk class. Efforts to increase physical activity among AF patients may improve outcomes in these patients.</span>
