ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

With the aim of reducing the risk of Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) in patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF), Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) devices are emerging as an alternative to oral anticoagulants.

OBJECTIVE:

To analyze the efficacy and safety of the LAAO procedure in patients with NVAF and contraindications and/or failure for oral anticoagulants.

METHOD:

The search for evidence was carried out in the electronic databases Medline and Embase till January 2024. Additional searches were conducted on Google Scholar. The clinical trials registry database was also consulted. Two blinded investigators performed the search, study selection, and data collection, and assessed quality and risk of bias using the Cochrane tool for randomized clinical trials. Meta-analyses of eligible trials were performed using RevMan 5.4.1 software. The random effects model was used for all analyses.

RESULTS:

Five articles were selected, among which three were non-inferiority randomized clinical trials that analyzed the performance and safety of LAAO devices compared to the use of Vitamin K Antagonists (AVKs) or Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs). No randomized clinical trials were found that analyzed populations with absolute contraindications to oral anticoagulants. Having as primary outcomes analyzed the occurrence of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), cardiovascular or unexplained death and systemic embolism, the non-inferiority of the LAAO procedure compared to the use of oral anticoagulants was verified.

CONCLUSIONS:

For patients with an absolute contraindication to anticoagulation and/or failure to use oral anticoagulants, evidence for the use of LAAO devices is scarce.
