    Abstract Left atrial appendage occlusion is an increasingly adopted stroke prevention strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, peridevice leaks after the procedure are not infrequent and have recently been shown to confer a higher risk for subsequent ischemic events. In this paper, the authors review the available research on the frequency, mechanisms, clinical significance, and management of peridevice leak after percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion.

    Abstract Background: The left atrial appendage (LAA) is known to be the primary source of thrombus formation in atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigate whether epicardial LAA occlusion (LAAO) from the cardiovascular system has an effect on coagulation and prothrombotic status in AF.
    Methods: Twenty-two patients with nonvalvular AF, who were not currently receiving oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy, participated in a single-center prospective study. We measured fibrinogen and plasminogen levels along with plasma fibrin clot permeability, clot lysis time (CLT) and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) before the LAAO procedure, at discharge and 1 month afterward.
    Results: One month after the LAAO procedure, plasma fibrin clot permeability improved by 39.3% as measured by clots prepared from peripheral blood (P=0.019) and also after adjustment for fibrinogen (P=0.027). Higher plasma fibrin clot permeability was associated with improved clot susceptibility to lysis (r=-0.67, P=0.013). CLT was reduced by 10.3% (P=0.0020), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 antigen levels were reduced by 52% (P=0.023) and plasminogen activity was increased by 8.9% (P=0.0077). A trend toward decreased thrombin generation, reflected by a decreased ETP and peak thrombin generated was also observed 1 month after LAAO procedure (P=0.072 and P=0.087, respectively). No differences were observed in tissue-type plasminogen activator and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor plasma levels (both P>0.05).
    Conclusions: Obtained results seem to confirm that LAA plays a key role in thrombogenesis. Elimination of LAA from the circulatory system may improve fibrin clot permeability and susceptibility to fibrinolysis in peripheral blood.

    Abstract Background: The Food and Drug Administration approved the Amulet occluder (Abbott) after demonstrating safety and effectiveness in the Amulet IDE (AMPLATZER Amulet LAA Occluder) trial.
    Objectives: The aim of the EMERGE Left Atrial Appendage study is to evaluate early postapproval outcomes of the Amulet occluder in the United States using data from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Registry.
    Methods: Patients with a commercial Amulet occluder implant attempt between Food and Drug Administration approval (August 14, 2021) and December 31, 2022, were included. The safety composite endpoint included all-cause death, ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, or device/procedure-related events requiring open cardiac surgery or endovascular intervention between device implantation and 7 days or hospital discharge (whichever is later). Major adverse events through 45 days were also reported and stratified by operator experience (early [<10 cases], moderate [10-29 cases], and high [30+ cases]).
    Results: A total of 5,499 patients underwent attempted Amulet occluder implantation. Implant success was 95.8%, and complete closure was 97.2% post-left atrial appendage occlusion and 87.1% at 45 days. A safety composite endpoint event occurred in 0.76% patients. Any major adverse event occurred in 2.9% and 5.7% of patients in-hospital and through 45 days, respectively, driven by major bleeding and pericardial effusion (PE) requiring intervention. PE requiring surgery or percutaneous intervention decreased significantly with increasing experience both in-hospital (early vs high operator experience 1.8% vs 1.1%; P = 0.006) and at 45 days (2.3% vs 1.5%; P = 0.012).
    Conclusions: The EMERGE Left Atrial Appendage study demonstrates favorable safety and effectiveness of the Amulet occluder in the real-world setting. More experienced operators had improved implant success and fewer PEs, suggesting a learning curve effect implanting this dual occlusive mechanism device.

    Abstract Aims: Prevalent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with excess cardiovascular (CV) death (D) and hospitalizations (H) in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (pEF). We evaluated if it had an independent role in excess CVD in HFpEF and studied its impact on cause-specific mortality and HF morbidity.
    Methods and results: We used propensity score-matched (PSM) cohorts from the TOPCAT Americas trial to account for confounding by other co-morbidities. Two prevalent AF presentations at study entry were compared: (i) subjects with Any AF event by history or on electrocardiogram (ECG) with PSM subjects without an AF event and (ii) subjects in AF on ECG with PSM subjects in sinus rhythm. We analyzed cause-specific modes of death and HF morbidity during a mean follow-up period of 2.9 years. A total of 584 subjects with Any AF event and 418 subjects in AF on ECG were matched. Any AF was associated with increased CVH [hazard ratio (HR) 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-1.61, P = 0.003], HFH (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.12-1.86, P = 0.004), pump failure death (PFD) (HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.05-3.62, P = 0.035), and HF progression from New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes I/II to III/IV (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.04-1.62, P = 0.02). Atrial fibrillation on ECG was associated with increased risk of CVD (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.02-2.09, P = 0.039), PFD (HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.11-4.40, P = 0.024), and CVH and HFH (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.09-1.72, P = 0.006 and HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.22-2.23, P = 0.001, respectively). Atrial fibrillation was not associated with risk of sudden death. Both Any AF and AF on ECG cohorts were associated with PFD in NYHA class III/IV HF.
    Conclusion: Prevalent AF can be an independent risk factor for adverse CV outcomes by its selective association with worsening HF, HFH, and PFD in HFpEF. Prevalent AF was not associated with excess sudden death risk in HFpEF. Atrial fibrillation was also associated with HF progression in early symptomatic HFpEF and PFD in advanced HFpEF.
