EHRA/EAPCI expert consensus statement on catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion – an update

Glikson M, Wolff R, Hindricks G et al. Keywords: catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion; atrial fibrillation; stroke prevention

ABSTRACT

Chapter 1. Background and pathophysiology of thrombus formation in the left atrium

The rationale for the quest to close the left atrial appendage (LAA) for stroke prevention is composed of three elements: the concept that atrial fibrillation (AF) causes strokes, the concept that strokes are associated with thrombus formation in the LAA, and that these thrombi cause strokes by embolisation to the cerebral circulation.

There are strong data supporting an association between AF and stroke. The Framingham study following 5,070 patients over 34 years demonstrated an approximately fivefold higher stroke risk in individuals with AF than in those without1. Though ...
