PLAATO (Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Transcatheter Occlusion) for prevention of cardioembolic stroke in non-anticoagulation eligible atrial fibrillation patients: results from the European PLAATO study

Abstract

Left atrial appendage closure is relatively safe and effective. However, severe complications can occur. It might become an alternative for atrial fibrillation patients who are ineligible for long-term anticoagulation therapy.
