Incidence and Predictors of Hypoattenuated Thickening and Device‐Related Thrombus at Three Months Postprocedural CT Assessment Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Amplatzer Devices—A Single‐Center Cohort
This study highlights the absence of anatomical predictors of HAT/DRT, emphasizing instead clinical determinants and the protective role of DAPT. These findings support tailoring antithrombotic therapy after LAAO according to individual clinical risk profiles, particularly in patients with prior stroke/TIA or women, who may benefit from reinforced preventive strategies. Larger multicenter studies are needed to refine postprocedural management algorithms and improve risk stratification beyond anatomical assessment.
