🩸 People with #AF are inadequately anticoagulated, largely related to MD hesitancy
🩸#Bleeding risk prediction tools have modest performance
🩸Bleeding risk iproportional to stroke risk, net benefit favours #antocoagulation

🩸Few reasons to withhold #OAC, even in frail, older adults
🩸Across spectrum of #bleeding risk in AF, #stroke risk is higher
🩸#DOACs preferred over warfarin in #nonvalvular #AF

1/24 This month’s #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial focuses on percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion.
Is #LAAO the exact solution for preventing stroke & embolism in #AF pts who can’t tolerate #OAC?
Or, a new problem while seeking a solution?

🎯 The rationale of #LAAO
🔸 In non-valvular #AF patients, 90% of thrombus is located in the #LAA
🔸 These thrombi embolise to the 🧠 & cause #stroke
🎯 Don't miss the ‘#EHRA_ESC #EAPCI expert consensus document on catheter-based #LAAO –an update’ doi.org/10.1093/europa…

#LAA closure devices should be safe, efficent and easy to deploy.
📌 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.’
