Do left atrial appendage closure devices provide an effective and safe alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Left atrial appendage occlusion serves as an alternative therapeutic approach to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Romero et al. (2014) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Left atrial appendage closure devices vs. Oral anticoagulation was evaluated. This article reviews the different techniques and devices for left atrial appendage occlusion as an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
