Bleeding and thrombotic risk in LAA closure patients

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: C. Allen, W. Wojakowski

Summary

This session provides a thorough examination of bleeding and thrombotic risks in patients undergoing left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. It reviews risk factors for device-related thrombosis, compares anticoagulation strategies post-procedure, and presents real-world clinical outcomes, particularly in high bleeding risk populations and special groups such as cancer patients.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Risk factors for device-related thrombosis after left atrial appendage closure
  • Direct oral anticoagulant monotherapy vs. dual antiplatelet therapy after LAA closure
  • Closing the appendage, improving outcomes? Real-world insights from a LAA Closure
  • Outcomes of LAA closure in high bleeding risk patients: real-world experience
  • Hybrid of LAA closure and anticoagulation after anticoagulation failure
  • In-hospital outcomes of patients with cancer diagnosis undergoing LAA occlusion
