Many patients with aortic stenosis have now been able to receive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In addition, patients with atrial fibrillation have also been able to receive left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for prevention of stroke. According to current studies and guidelines, LAA closure is indicated in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. However, what happens if… View more
