RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Advanced chronic kidney disease (A-CKD) combined with atrial fibrillation increases the risk of both thrombogenic and bleeding events. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may be an alternative to oral anticoagulation to prevent thromboembolic events. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of LAAO in patients with A-CKD. METHODS: Comparison at long-term follow-up of patients diagnosed with and without A-CKD (eGFR<30 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) who underwent LAAO between 2009 and May 2022. RESULTS: Five hundred seventy-three patients were included. Eighty-one (14%) were diagnosed with A-CKD. There were no differences in sex, age, and cardiovascular risk factors, except for diabetes which was more frequent in patients with A-CKD. The control group had higher rates of stroke, both ischemic and hemorrhagic. There were no differences in the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score, although A-CKD patients had a higher bleeding risk according to the HASBLED scale. Global procedural success was 99.1%. At follow-up, there were no differences in stroke rate: at 1-year (HR: 1.22, IC-95%: 0.14-10.42, p = 0.861); at 5-years (HR: 0.60, IC-95%: 0.08-4.58, p = 0.594). Although bleeding events were higher in the A-CKD group, no differences were found in major bleeding (defined BARC ≥ 3) at 1-year (HR: 1.34, IC-95%: 0.63-2.88, p = 0.464) or at 5-years follow-up (HR: 1.30, IC-95%: 0.69-2.48, p = 0.434). Mortality rate at 5 years was higher in the A-CKD patients (HR: 1.84, IC-95%: 1.18-2.87, p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: LAAO is an effective and safe treatment in A-CKD patients to prevent ischemic events and bleeding. This strategy could be an alternative to oral anticoagulation in this high-risk group of patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antithrombotic treatment (ATT) post-left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) remains controversial. Furthermore, most of the patients undergoing LAAO are at a very high bleeding risk. AIMS: This study aimed to compare a simplified versus conventional ATT after LAAO in very high bleeding risk patients. METHODS: This is a multicentre, retrospective study including very high bleeding risk patients, according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) definition, who underwent LAAO. These included patients at >4% risk of BARC 3 to 5 bleeding or >1% risk of intracranial bleeding after the procedure. Two groups were established based on the discharge ATT. The simplified group included single antiplatelet treatment or no treatment, and the conventional group comprised dual antiplatelet treatment or anticoagulation (combined or not with antiplatelet therapy). RESULTS: A total of 1,135 patients were included. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores were 4.5±1.5 and 3.7±1.0, respectively. There were no differences in the composite endpoint (death, stroke, transient ischaemic attack, device-related thrombus or major bleeding) between the 2 groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-1.11; p=0.188). Although the rate of major bleeding during the first year was numerically lower in the simplified group, it did not reach statistical significance (HR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.41-1.10; p=0.104). Nonetheless, patients with previous major bleeding presented a significantly lower rate of major bleeding when using the simplified treatment (HR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.36-0.99; p=0.049). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with very high bleeding risk, a simplified ATT after LAAO seems to be as effective as conventional protocols. Furthermore, patients with a history of major bleeding experienced a lower risk of major bleeding with the simplified ATT.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures are widely guided by standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probes, requiring general anesthesia in most patients. The use of miniaturized TEE probes allows for LAAO guidance under local anesthesia and offers an attractive imaging alternative to standard TEE probes. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of miniaturized TEE probes for procedural guidance of LAAO. METHODS: Multicenter retrospective observational study of LAAO procedures performed under miniaturized TEE guidance and conscious sedation. The primary efficacy endpoint was technical success. The secondary efficacy endpoint was procedural success (technical success without major periprocedural complications). The safety outcome was a composite of major periprocedural complications. RESULTS: A total of 546 consecutive LAAO procedures were performed in 5 European centers. Technical success was achieved in 534 (98.0%) patients. Sixteen major periprocedural complications occurred in 15 (2.9%) patients, yielding a procedural success rate of 97.0%. Conversion to general anesthesia was required in 4 (0.7%) patients. Short-term imaging follow-up was available in 422 patients with an incidence of major (>5 mm) TEE-detected residual leaks of 0.7%, complete LAA occlusion of 82.2% on cardiac computed tomography, and device-related thrombus of 5%. As compared with procedural 2-dimensional imaging for device sizing, preprocedural assessment by 3-dimensional imaging resulted in improved technical success (100% vs 95.0%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: LAAO under conscious sedation and miniaturized TEE guidance is safe and feasible with a high rate of technical success and a low rate of periprocedural complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a safe and effective alternative to oral anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Technological development in devices and imaging techniques, as well as accumulated experience, have increased procedural success rates and decreased complications. Same-day discharge protocols have been proposed in the field of structural heart disease, but this approach has not been studied in detail for the LAAO procedure. AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of an outpatient program for LAAO when compared to the conventional treatment approach. METHODS: We present a retrospective, non-randomized single-center study of 262 consecutive patients undergoing LAAO. Patients were divided into two groups, the first (n = 131) followed a conventional protocol (CP), and the second (n = 131) an outpatient protocol (OP). The primary composite endpoint comprised MACCE (death, stroke, and bleeding), cardiac tamponade, vascular complication, or attendance in the emergency department after hospital discharge at 30 days. RESULTS: The overall success rate was 99.6%, with a periprocedural complication rate of 2.29%. With regards to the CP versus OP group, there were no differences between incidences of the primary composite endpoint (6.1% PC vs. 3.0% PA, p = 0.24), or after an analysis, with propensity score matching. No differences were observed in the individual endpoints. There was a decrease in hospital length of stay in the same-day discharge group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: A same-day discharge LAAO program is safe, effective, and feasible when compared to the conventional strategy. Moreover, it reduces hospital length of stay, which might have clinical and economic benefits.
