Do percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion devices prevent stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation?
This review summarizes the rationale, feasibility, and efficacy of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion devices for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
Contractor et al. (2011) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion was evaluated. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion devices are reviewed for their feasibility and efficacy in preventing stroke among patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
