Left atrial appendage closure versus anticoagulation in the management of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression analysis
LAAC has comparable efficacy in preventing strokes. The risk of CV death, all-cause deaths, and nonprocedural relevant bleeding, all of which are associated with the composite primary outcome is lower in the LAAC group versus the oral anticoagulation therapy and can have even greater efficacy with a longer follow-up period.
