🎯 The rationale of #LAAO
🔸 In non-valvular #AF patients, 90% of thrombus is located in the #LAA
🔸 These thrombi embolise to the 🧠 & cause #stroke

📌 Currently available catheter-based devices for #LAAO have different principles.

A- Plug ➡️ Watchman
B- Pacifier ➡️ Amplatzer Amulet
C- Ligation ➡️ Lariat

‘Overall, #antiplatelet monotherapy is ineffective for #stroke prevention [for #AtrialFibrillation] & potentially harmful (especially #elderly), whereas #DAPT associated with bleeding risk similar to OAC. Hence, antiplatelets should not be used for #stroke prevention in #AF
2020 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of #AtrialFibrillation #ESCCongress : academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…
‘Between 2009 & 2018, in #England, the use of #OAC for #stroke prophylaxis in #AtrialFibrillation increased, with #DOAC accounting for over half of OAC uptake in 2018.’
