Abstract
Interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists perform various procedures to improve the quality and longevity of life. The mitigation of stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation may be ignored when considering other more acute or urgent situations, such as severe coronary or valvular heart disease requiring treatment or symptomatic atrial fibrillation necessitating ablation. However, we must keep this long-term stroke risk in mind to optimize patients' overall outcomes. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion is an important option in those who present with high stroke and bleeding risk. Ongoing studies will help provide objective data in this arena.
