Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Using the Amplatzer Amulet Device in High-Risk Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention: A Randomized Pilot Study
This pilot study suggests that among high-risk patients with AF undergoing TAVI, a strategy of a combined procedure with LAAO and early cessation of oral anticoagulation overall showed similar rates of the primary end point as compared to a single TAVI procedure (NCT03088098).
