Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficiency of the percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with coronary heart disease (CAD). Methods:51 NVAF patients were consecutively accepted LAAO between June 2015 and July 2017. Patients were divided in two groups: 15 with CAD and 36 without CAD. All patients were followed up after discharge with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination. Results:Among these 51 patients, there were no hemorrhagic stroke or major bleeding. The incidence of end-point events had no statistical difference between CAD and non-CAD. Compared with CAD patients who accepted long-term antithrombotic medication, there was no obvious difference in stroke rate and mortality in CAD accepted LAAO group, whereas a further reduction of hemorrhage (n=5/20% vs. n=0, P=0.031) was shown. A significant correlation (P<0.001, r=0.580) was detected between moderate or severe left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC) and the composite end point events. Conclusion:There are similar safety and effectiveness for LAAO procedure in NVAF patients with CAD and without CAD. Meanwhile, LASEC is a predictive factor of LAAO in NVAF patients combined CAD.
