The association of hematological markers with occurrence of thrombotic and bleeding events following left atrial appendage occlusion

Patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are at increased risk for bleeding or thromboembolic events. Concurrently, biomarkers are of growing importance in risk stratification for atrial fibrillation patients. We aimed to evaluate the association of hematological markers and clinical characteristics with the occurrence of thromboembolic and bleeding events following LAAO.
