ABSTRACT
Resection of the left atrial appendage (LAA) to prevent recurrent arterial emboli in patients with atrial fibrillation was first suggested more than 60 years ago. Longer-term follow-up from randomized studies of the safety and efficacy of transcatheter LAA occlusion has recently been completed; data from large, observational cohorts are being reported. These recent data provide further insights into procedural safety with current techniques and the ability of LAA closure to reduce thromboembolic stroke compared with warfarin anticoagulation. This review summarizes the latest data regarding transcatheter LAA occlusion, focusing on larger prospective studies and further analyses of seminal clinical trials.
