ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) appears as a therapeutic option for some atrial fibrillation patients not suitable for oral anticoagulation because an increased hemorrhagic risk or recurrent ischemic events despite anticoagulant treatment. Methods Report of consecutive atrial fibrillation patients treated with LAAO with Amplatzer Cardio Plug because contraindication or failure of oral anticoagulation with acenocumarol. CHA2DS2VASC, HAS-BLED, NIHSS, mRS, procedural complications and outcome were assessed. Seven patients (73 ± 6 year-old) were treated after intracerebral (n = 5) and gastrointestinal (n = 1) hemorrhages or ischemic stroke recurrence while on acenocumarol (n = 1). Results Mean follow up was 18 months. Baseline CHA2DS2Vasc y HAS-BLED scores were 5.6 ± 0.7 and 4.1 ± 0.3 respectively. There were no strokes or deaths. There was only one non-serious adverse event. Conclusion LAAO with ACP appears as a feasible therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and failure or contraindication to acenocumarol.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN La oclusión de la orejuela auricular izquierda (OOAI) es una opción terapéutica en pacientes con fibrilación auricular y alto riesgo hemorrágico o recurrencia de accidente cerebrovascular isquémico (ACVi) a pesar del tratamiento anticoagulante. Métodos Reporte de pacientes con fibrilación auricular y contraindicación o fallo terapéutico con acenocumarol tratados con OOAI. Se evaluaron escalas CHA2DS2VASC, HAS-BLED, NIHSS y mRS, complicaciones procedurales y resultados. Resultados Siete pacientes (73 ± 6 años) fueron tratados luego de sufrir hemorragia cerebral (n = 5), gastrointestinal (n = 1) o ACVi recurrente a pesar del tratamiento con acenocumarol. Las escalas CHADS2VASC y HAS-BLED fueron 5.6 ± 0.7 y 4.1 ± 0.3 respectivamente. Luego de un seguimeinto promedio fue de 18 meses (3-50) no se registraron ACVi o muertes. Se registró sólo un evento adverso no serio. Conclusión La OOAI es una opción terapéutica factible para prevenir ACVi en pacientes con fibrilación auricular y fallo o contraindicación para recibir acenocumarol.
