摘要：OBJECTIVES Whether left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in octogenarians yield similar net clinical benefit compared to younger patients, was the purpose of the present study. METHODS Two real-world LAAC registries, enrolling 744 consecutive Amplatzer and Watchman patients from 2009 to 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS All events are reported per 100 patient-years. Two hundred and sixty one octogenarians and 483 non-octogenarians with a mean follow-up of 1.7 ± 1.3 and 2.3 ± 1.6 years, and a total of 1,502 patient-years were included. Octogenarians had a higher risk for stroke (CHA2DS2-VASc score: 5.2 ± 1.2 vs. 4.3 ± 1.7, P < 0.0001) and bleeding (HAS-BLED score: 3.3 ± 0.8 vs. 3.1 ± 1.1, P = 0.001). The combined safety endpoint of major periprocedural complications and major bleeding events at follow-up was comparable (30/446, 6.7％ vs. 47/1056, 4.4％; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.2; 95％ confidence interval [CI]: 0.73?1.98; P = 0.48) between the groups. The efficacy endpoint of all-cause stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular/unexplained death occurred more often in octogenarians (61/446, 13.7％ vs. 80/1056, 7.6％; HR = 7.0; 95％ CI: 4.53?10.93; P < 0.0001). Overall, octogenarians had a lower net clinical benefit, i.e., the composite of all above mentioned hazards, from LAAC compared to younger patients (82/446, 18.4％ vs. 116/1056, 11.0％; HR = 4.6; 95％ CI: 3.11?7.0; P < 0.0001). Compared to the anticipated stroke rate, the observed rate de-creased by 41％ in octogenarians and 53％ in non-octogenarians. The observed bleeding rate was reduced by 10％ octogenarians and 41％ non-octogenarians. CONCLUSIONS LAAC can be performed with similar safety in octogenarians as compared to younger patients. On the long-term, it both reduces stroke and bleeding events, although to a lesser extent than in non-octogenarians.
