Deepthy Varghese, MSN, ACNP, FNP, Northside Hospital, is joined by Shephal K Doshi, MD Pacific Heart Institute, and Devi G. Nair, MD, FHRS, St. Bernards Medical Center & Arrhythmia Research Group to discuss how the retrospective cohort study examined the safety and efficacy of combining left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with other cardiac procedures compared to isolated LAAO. Based on data from the National Inpatient Sample database, the analysis found similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and length of stay (LOS) between the two groups. However, patients undergoing concomitant procedures had higher costs and certain complications were more frequent, such as heart block with atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter ablation and stroke with transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
