BACKGROUND: The occurrence of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) while using oral anticoagulants (OAC) is an increasingly recognised problem among nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. We aimed to elucidate the potential role of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) for stroke prevention in patients with AIS despite OAC use (AIS-despite-OAC).
METHODS: We retrospectively collected baseline and follow-up data from consecutive NVAF patients who had AIS-despite-OAC and subsequently underwent endovascular LAAC, between January 2015 and October 2021. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of AIS after LAAC, and the safety outcome was symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH).
RESULTS: 29 patients had LAAC specifically because of AIS-despite-OAC. The mean age at the time of the procedure was 73.4±8.7, 13 were female (44.82%). The mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 5.96±1.32, with an expected AIS risk of 8.44 per 100 patient-years. 14 patients (48%) had two or more past AIS-despite-OAC. After LAAC, 27 patients (93.10%) were discharged on OAC which was discontinued in 17 (58.62%) after transoesophageal echocardiogram at 6 weeks. Over a mean of 1.75±1.0 years follow-up after LAAC, one patient had an AIS (incidence rate (IR) 1.97 per 100 patient-years). One patient with severe cerebral microangiopathy had a small ICH while on direct OAC and antiplatelet 647 days after LAAC.
CONCLUSIONS: LAAC in AIS-despite-OAC patients demonstrated a low annual AIS recurrence rate in our cohort (1.97%) compared with the expected IR based on their CHA2DS2-VASc scores (8.44%) and to recent large series of AIS-despite-OAC patients treated with OAC/aspirin only (5.3%-8.9%). These hypothesis-generating findings support randomised trials of LAAC in AIS-despite-OAC patients.
