Real-world studies comparing safety and efficacy of combined percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and catheter ablation (CA) to LAAO alone are limited.
Patients from a large US hospital system undergoing combined LAAO and left-atrial CA from 8/2020 to 2/2024 were retrospectively analyzed and compared to a control group undergoing LAAO alone. Controls were identified using a 1:2 propensity score match based on LAAO device type (Watchman FLX vs. Amulet), CHAD-VASc and Hypertension, Abnormal renal/liver function, Stroke, Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile international normalized ratio [INR], Elderly, Drugs/alcohol (HAS-BLED) scores and compared for safety, sealing performance and clinical outcomes at 6 months.
Patients were younger in the combined (n = 72) than in the control group (n = 144, 70.2 ± 7.3 vs. 76.7 ± 6.9 years, p < 0.001) but otherwise comparable with a mean CHAD-VASc score of 4.2 ± 1.1 and 4.4 ± 1.2 (p = 0.26) and HAS-BLED score of 2.2 ± 0.8 and 2.3 ± 0.7 (p = 0.34). Successful LAAO implantation rates were the same (95.8% vs. 95.8%, p = 0.99) with longer procedure times seen in the combined group (156.5 ± 53 vs. 56 ± 26 min, p < 0.001). Both major (1.4% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.72) and minor (27.8% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.17) in-hospital complications were similar between the combined and control group, respectively. At 45 days, presence of peri-device leak (18.3% vs. 30.4%, p = 0.07) and device related thrombosis (4.5% vs. 4.5%, p = 0.96) on transesophageal echocardiogram did not differ. Finally, all-cause mortality (0% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.99), thromboembolic (0% vs. 0%, p = 0.99) and bleeding (6.1% vs. 4.4%, p = 0.73) events during follow-up were comparable.
This large, real-world analysis indicates comparable safety and efficiency of combined LAAO and CA when compared with LAAO alone.
比较经皮左心耳封堵术(LAAO)联合导管消融术(CA)与单纯LAAO安全性和有效性的真实世界研究有限。
回顾性分析2020年8月至2024年2月在美国一家大型医院系统接受LAAO联合左心房CA的患者,并与单纯接受LAAO的对照组进行比较。根据LAAO装置类型(Watchman FLX与Amulet)、CHAD-VASc评分以及高血压、肝肾功能异常、中风、出血史或易感性、国际标准化比值[INR]不稳定、老年、药物/酒精(HAS-BLED)评分进行1:2倾向评分匹配确定对照组,并比较6个月时的安全性、封堵性能和临床结局。
联合治疗组(n = 72)患者比对照组(n = 144)年轻(70.2±7.3岁 vs. 76.7±6.9岁,p < 0.001),但其他方面相当,平均CHAD-VASc评分为4.2±1.1和4.4±1.2(p = 0.26),HAS-BLED评分为2.2±0.8和2.3±0.7(p = 0.34)。LAAO成功植入率相同(95.8% vs. 95.8%,p = 0.99),联合治疗组手术时间更长(156.5±53 vs. 56±26分钟,p < 0.001)。联合治疗组和对照组的主要(1.4% vs. 2.1%,p = 0.72)和次要(27.8% vs. 19.4%,p = 0.17)住院并发症相似。在45天时,经食管超声心动图显示的装置周围渗漏(18.3% vs. 30.4%,p = 0.07)和与装置相关的血栓形成(4.5% vs. 4.5%,p = 0.96)无差异。最后,随访期间的全因死亡率(0% vs. 1.4%,p = 0.99)、血栓栓塞(0% vs. 0%,p = 0.99)和出血(6.1% vs. 4.4%,p = 0.73)事件相当。
这项大型真实世界分析表明,与单纯LAAO相比,LAAO联合CA具有相当的安全性和有效性。
