1 Left Atrial Appendage Closure in Atrial Fibrillation to Prevent Stroke Matthew J. Price MD Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Scripps Clinic La Jolla, CA, USA

2 Risk Factors for Stroke From The Perspective of the 17 th -Century Physician To this variety of apoplexy those are most liable who lead an idle life, who are obese, whose face and hands are constantly livid and whose pulse constantly unequal. Historiae Apoplecticorum Johann Jakob Wepfer, 1658 Apoplexy: Incapacity resulting from a cerebral hemorrhage or stroke.

3 Prevalence of Antithrombotic Therapies in AF Patients Across the Spectrum of Stroke Risk: Data from the NCDR-PINNACLE Registry N=429,417 <50% of highrisk patients get OACs Hsu JC et al, JAMA Cardiol. 2016;1(1):

7 The Bad Actor: The Left Atrial Appendage Why not a local therapy for a local problem? >90% of stroke-causing thrombus originates in the LAA Thromboembolic stroke from AF more debilitating due to size of clots Blackshear J.L. Odell J.A., Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996;61:

8 A Local Approach to Stroke Prevention in AF is Not A Novel Idea

9 LAA Occluders Clinically Available (CE Mark or FDA-approved) or Currently Under Investigation U.S.: : Watchman (FDA approved), Amulet (RCT), Wavecrest (RCT soon) OUS: WATCHMAN Amplatzer Amulet LifeTech Occlutech Prolipsis Cardia Acroredis

10 WATCHMAN LAA Occluder Catheter-based Delivery Available sizes: 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 mm diameter Nitinol Frame 10 active fixation anchors - designed to engage tissue for stability Proximal Face 160 micron membrane PET cap designed to block emboli and promote healing Repositionable & retreivable

11 Watchman LAA Closure at 1 Year FU

12 WATCHMAN: FDA Indications for Use The WATCHMAN is indicated to reduce the risk of thromboembolism from the LAA in patients with AF who: Are at increased risk for stroke and systemic embolism based on CHADS2 or CHA2DS2VASc scores and are recommended for anticoagulation Are deemed by their physicians to be suitable for warfarin; and Have an appropriate rationale to seek a nonnonpharmacologic alternative to warfarin, taking into account the safety and effectiveness of the device compared with warfarin.

13 Prospective U.S. Dataset for WATCHMAN LAA Closure in Warfarin-Eligible Patients Key Trials N Design PROTECT AF ( ) 707 Prospective RCT - 2:1, non-inferiority trial of LAA closure vs. warfarin. CAP ( ) 566 Prospective continuing access registry to gain further information prior to PMA approval. PREVAIL Prospective RCT - 2:1, non-inferiority trial to collect 407 ( ) additional information on the WATCHMAN Device. CAP2 ( ) 579 Prospective continuing access registry prior to PMA approval.

27 Decision Making Scheme for Stroke Prevention Therapy in AF AF patient at high thromboembolic risk by CHA2DS2VASC score Low bleeding risk, compliant, can afford therapy NOAC (or VKA) Not good candidate for long-term OAC (prior bleed, bleeding risk, on APT, noncompliant, poor VKA candidate & can t afford/take NOAC) but can tolerate short-term therapy Commercial Watchman Absolute or strong contraindication to even short-term OAC ASAP-TOO (WM vs no therapy) Amulet vs. Watchman RCT

30 LAA Closure, TAVR, ASD/PFO, Mitral Repair, and More Featuring live case demonstrations, hands-on workshopsand additional satellite symposia! A Pract ical Approach February 7-9, 2018 San Diego Marriott La Jolla La Jolla, California Overview Course Directors Scripps Health s Structural Heart Intervention and Imaging conference is designed to provide a practical, cutting-edge, case-based assessment of the emerging area of structural heart disease intervention and interventional cardiovascular imaging. The expert faculty will include interventionalists, invasive cardiologists, and echocardiographers. Faculty will discuss patient selection, pre-procedural assessment, procedural tips, techniques and challenges (including concurrent imaging) during the performance of the procedures, and conclude with assessment of outcomes and future directions.
