Background Women with atrial fibrillation (AF) generally experience worse symptoms,
poorer quality of life, and have a higher risk of stroke and death. There is limited availability …

Introduction Gender‐based differences in atrial fibrillation have been identified, but limited
data exist for patients undergoing left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) implantation. This …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is among the most common arrhythmias associated with
an increased risk of cardioembolic phenomena, including stroke. Percutaneous left atrial …

Background Percutaneous LAAO represents an alternative for stroke prevention in patients
not tolerating anticoagulation. While women are at higher risk of complications during …

Importance Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as an alternative to
anticoagulation for select patients with atrial fibrillation; however, women have been …

Background Women have higher rates of acute complications after left atrial appendage
occlusion (LAAO). However, data on long-term safety and effectiveness are limited …

There is a lack of sufficient data on sex‐related differences in outcomes of nonvalvular atrial

Background: The comparative real-world outcomes of older patients with atrial fibrillation
(AF) treated with anticoagulation compared with left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may …

Abstract Objectives and Background There is insufficient current evidence about whether
sex impacts outcomes of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). The aim of …

The mean age in clinical trials of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has
been< 75 years. We aimed to better understand the safety of LAAO in older patients …
