Residual leaks after percutaneous LAA closure may ⬆️ thromboembolic risk & common practice is to continue oral anticoagulation. This report suggests RF ablation on the atrial edge of the leak may promote LAA sealing ➡️ tissue remodeling. bit.ly/3eZDK6u #JACCCEP #EPeeps

Our paper on a genotype-based antithrombotic strategy after LAAO is online in #jaccep @JACCJournals @natale_md @TCAI_Research @tcainstitute @EPeeps_Bot @dngibson2 @DJ_Lakkireddy @LuigiDiBiaseMD @MBassiounyMD @gbforleo @michelefg91 @shivkumarmd
Loss of function polymorphisms in the CYP2C19 gene associate w/ ⬇️ bioactivation of clopidogrel, which is used after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. This pilot suggests a genotype-based strategy may help reduce device-related thrombus. bit.ly/32crXyN #JACCCEP
