Left atrial appendage closure versus medical therapy in atrial fibrillation: An updated meta-analysis of randomized trials on the trade-off between stroke prevention and bleeding.

BACKGROUND Long-term oral anticoagulation remains the standard of care for patients with atrial fibrillation, despite the non-negligible risk of bleeding. Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative strategy for preventing stroke with inconclusive modern data. AIMS Our aim was to e...

One-Year Outcomes of Myval Versus Contemporary Transcatheter Heart Valves in Severe Aortic Stenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The Myval and Myval Octacor transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are newer-generation balloon-expandable devices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in severe aortic stenosis (AS), but comprehensive synthesis of 1-year outcomes incorporating recent randomized data remains limited. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE...

Clinical Outcomes of Conduction System versus Right Ventricular Pacing after TAVR: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The potential clinical relevance of CSP when a high ventricular pacing burden is anticipated remains plausible but was not directly demonstrated by the available data; adequately powered randomized trials are required before routine adoption.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Stroke prevention after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with atrial fibrillation remains clinically challenging because thromboembolic risk must be balanced against substantial bleeding vulnerability. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has been proposed as a nonpharmacologic alt...

“Left Atrial Appendage Closure Versus Medical Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials”

LAAC provides similar overall efficacy and safety compared with medical therapy for stroke prevention in AF but should currently remain reserved for selected patients rather than replacing oral anticoagulation broadly, indicating current evidence remains underpowered and additional randomized trials are needed.
