Authors' recommendations:
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure could be an appropriate alternative for patients who are not eligible for OAC with vitamin-K antagonists. However, in the studies identified in our systematic review this population has not been investigated. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn on the efficacy and safety of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in this particular group of patients.
