Christina Chrysohoou: Catheter-Based LAAC vs OAC for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation
Christina Chrysohoou, Board Member Educational Committe EAPC at European Society of Cardiology, Senior Consultant (Director in Hellenic Health System) at Hippocratio Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Claudio Laudani et al., published in JAMA Cardiology, adding:
“These findings suggest that catheter-based LAAC involves trade-offs between ischemic and bleeding outcomes compared with OAC and do not support its routine use as a first-line strategy for stroke prevention in patients with AF at moderate to high risk of stroke.”
