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.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure as an Alternative to Warfarin for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: A Patient-Level Meta-Analysis
David R. Holmes,Shephal K. Doshi,Saibal Kar,Matthew J. Price,Jose M. Sanchez,Horst Sievert,Miguel Valderrábano,Vivek Y. Reddy +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with NVAF at increased risk for stroke or bleeding who are candidates for chronic anticoagulation, LAAC resulted in improved rates of hemorrhagic stroke, cardiovascular/unexplained death, and nonprocedural bleeding compared to warfarin.

TL;DR: In this multicentre study, LAAO with the ACP showed high procedural success and a favourable outcome for the prevention of AF-related thromboembolism and modification in antithrombotic therapy after LAAo may result in reduction of bleeding events.
