Impact of CHA2DS2-VASc Score in the Outcomes of Patients Undergoing a Simplified Pathway for Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure.
Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is usually performed after a pre-procedural evaluation by transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) or cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Nevertheless, these ad-hoc examinations imply an additional use of hospital resources and time spending.
Aims: To investigate long-term clinical outcomes, effectiveness and safety of performing LAAC procedures without pre-procedural imaging assessment in patients with high and very high thromboembolic risk based on CHA2DS2-VASc score.
Methods: From January 2016 to January 2023, 227 consecutive patients undergoing LAAC following an optimized pathway that removed the use of pre-procedural TOE or CCTA imaging assessment, were enrolled in this single-center, retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups based on thromboembolic risk: 94 had CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥ 5 and 133 had CHA2DS2-VASc scores < 5). The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, stroke, systemic embolization, or bleeding events at 2 years. Co-primary endpoints were device success, device-related thrombosis (DRT) and peri-device leaks (PDL) ≥ 3 mm at TOE follow-up.
Results: At 2 years, no significant differences were observed between groups in the primary composite endpoint (KM est. 24.81% vs. 20.21%, plog-rank = 0.7; aHR 0.85, CI: 0.48-1.50, p = 0.58). Device success was 98.7% overall, with no significant differences between groups (aOR 0.32% CI: 0.03-3.80; p = 0.37). DRT and PDL ≥ 3 mm rates were low (4.3% vs. 1.5%, p = 0.26% and 3.2% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.75, respectively). In-hospital complications were low and comparable in both groups.
Conclusions: In a consecutive series of patients undergoing LAAC, a simplified approach without pre-operative imaging assessment showed comparable results at 2-year for the primary composite endpoint of all-cause death, stroke, systemic embolization, or bleeding events in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 5 and those with CHA2DS2-VASc score < 5.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
