Long-Term Outcomes of LAA Contrast Flow in CT Scans After Endocardial LAA Closure: The CF-CT Registry
Long-Term Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Contrast Flow in CT Scans After Endocardial LAA Closure: The CF-CT Registry
About This Trial
This study is intended to assess the incidence and correlation to the development of peri-device leaks (PDLs), device related thrombosis (DRTs) and cerebral vascular accident (CVA)/transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in association with left atrial appendage contrast flow (LAA-CF). It will be a multi-center, retrospective study. Approximately 100 subject charts will be reviewed.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Acute ischemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Oral Anticoagulation (OAC) with Warfarin and Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has been the mainstay to prevent systemic thromboembolism (STE) in this patient population. It is estimated that around 50% of patients who have AF with indication for OAC end up being not on OAC due to bleeding complications leaving them at high risk for developing STE. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) offers an option in such population.
