DOI: 10.1007/s00392-018-1288-1
Abstract: BackgroundEpicardial left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation may be an alternative to oral anticoagulation management and to endocardial LAA closure devices. We report long-term results after LAA ligation with the second-generation LARIAT device.MethodsRetrospective study was performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-01994-8
Abstract: Background Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with high thromboembolism risk, particularly with contraindications to OAC. The LAA itself could possess proarrhythmogenic properties.… read more here.
