Engage your friendly neighborhood vascular neurologist before LAAO if the indication is prior ICH or CAA. Better yet, send them to the @MayoClinic Heart-Brain Clinic. Risk stratification is essential.

Probable CAA is a very heterogenous population, and in select cases we don’t use anticoagulation in setting of high burden AF. Prior ICH and cortical superficial siderosis are significant risk factors for recurrent ICH, in which we may consider LAAO.

Not noninferior = INFERIOR

Take your blood thinners folks - still the gold standard for stroke prevention in patients with AF who don’t have clear contraindication to anticoagulation.

Among patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke and bleeding, left atrial appendage closure was not noninferior to medical therapy in reducing the risk of stroke, embolism, major bleeding, or death at 3 years. Full CLOSURE-AF trial results: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
