Abstract

Patients with liver cirrhosis are at an increased risk of bleeding secondary to diminished clotting factor synthesis. In patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and cirrhosis, there is an additional risk of cardioembolic stroke. Thus, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an attractive therapeutic option. There is limited data available that examine the safety and outcomes of LAAO in patients with cirrhosis.
