TLDR
This method of stroke risk reduction appears to be safe and effective with an ischemic stroke rate as low as 1.1%, even though 73% of patients had a contraindication to and were not using oral anticoagulation.About:

TL;DR: Oral anticoagulation is the optimal choice of antithrombotic therapy for patients with AF with ≥1 non‐sex CHA2DS2‐VASc stroke risk factor(s), and stroke prevention (ie, oral antICOagulation therapy) is the next step.

Standardized Endpoint Definitions for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Clinical Trials : A Consensus Report From the Valve Academic Research Consortium

Petersen,Jeffrey J. Popma,Johanna J.M. Takkenberg,Alec Vahanian,Gerrit-Anne van Es,Pascal Vranckx,John G. Webb,Stephan Windecker,Patrick W. Serruys +19 more
TL;DR: Although consensus criteria will invariably include certain arbitrary features, an organized multidisciplinary process to develop specific definitions for TAVI clinical research should provide consistency across studies that can facilitate the evaluation of this new important catheter-based therapy.

Evaluation of risk stratification schemes for ischaemic stroke and bleeding in 182 678 patients with atrial fibrillation: the Swedish Atrial Fibrillation cohort study
TL;DR: Several independent risk factors (prior ICH, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and renal failure) predict ischaemic stroke and/or the composite thromboembolism endpoint in AF, but thyroid disease was not an independent risk factor for stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative validation of a novel risk score for predicting bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation: the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal Renal/Liver Function, Stroke, Bleeding History or Predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol Concomitantly) score.
TL;DR: Of the contemporary bleeding risk stratification schemas, the new HAS-BLED scheme offers useful predictive capacity for bleeding over previously published schemas and may be simpler to apply.

TL;DR: Percutaneous LAA closure met criteria for both noninferiority and superiority, compared with warfarin, for preventing the combined outcome of stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular death, as well as superiority for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
