Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide; it poses a great burden in terms of quality of life reduction and yearly stroke risk. Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a stroke prevention strategy that has been proven a viable alternative to anti-thrombotic regimens in non-valvular AF patients. LAAC can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or alongside a concomitant AF trans catheter ablation, in a procedure known as "Combined Procedure". Aim of this study is to summarize the scientific evidence backing this combined strategy.
