文摘
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) using the Amplatzer cardiac plug (ACP) is a preventive treatment of atrial fibrillation related thromboembolism.

Aim

To assess the safety and efficacy of LAAO in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

Among the ACP multicentre registry, 1014 patients (75 ± 8 yrs) with available renal function were included.

Results

Patients with CKD (N = 375, CHA2DS2-VASc: 4.9 ± 1.5, HASBLED: 3.4 ± 1.3) were at higher risk than patients without CKD (N = 639, CHA2DS2-VASc: 4.2 ± 1.6, HASBLED: 2.9 ± 1.2; p < 0.001 for both). Procedural (97%) and occlusion (99%) success were similarly high in all stages of CKD. Peri-procedural major adverse events (MAE) were observed in 5.1% of patients, 0.8% of death, with no difference between patients with and those without CKD (6.1 vs 4.5%, p = 0.47). In patients with complete follow-up (1319 patients years), the annual stroke + transient ischaemic attack (TIA) rate was 2.3% and the observed bleeding rate was 2.1% (62 and 60% less than expected, similarly among patients with and those without CKD). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed a lower overall survival (84 vs 96% and 84 vs 93% at 1 and 2 yrs. respectively; p < 0.001) among patients with an eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Conclusion

LAAO using the ACP has a similar procedural safety among CKD patients compared to patients with normal renal function. LAAO with ACP offers a dramatic reduction of stroke + TIA rate and of bleeding rate persistent in all stages of CKD, as compared to the expected annual risk.
