LAAO Versus NOAC in Patients With AF and PCI
Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Versus Novel Oral Anti-coagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: a Randomized, Multicentre, Open-label, Non-inferiority Trial
Atrial fibrillation (AF) coincides with coronary artery disease (CAD) shared common risk factors and pathophysiologic pathways. CAD affects approximately 25% of AF patient according to the trial Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM), while in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) atrial fibrillation affected about 9% of patients with CAD. It is reported that approximately 5-8% of the patients who underwent PCI had concomitated atrial fibrillation.
For AF patients who underwent PCI, both antiplatelet and antithrombotic medications are required for preventing stent thrombosis and ischemic stroke, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Finding a safe and effective balance between the risk of ischaemic events and bleeding complications is challenged by the shared risk factors for either event such as advanced age, congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, previous stroke, etc..
Previous pivotal trials have shown that in patients with atrial fibrillation and requiring antiplatelet treatment, a NOAC plus clopidogrel regimen was associated with a lower incidence of bleeding events as compared with a warfarin-based triple antithrombotic strategy. Therefore, the current expert opinions and consensus of North American Societies recommend a NOAC plus a P2Y12 inhibitor in patients with AF and PCI. However, the NOAC plus clopidogrel strategy still led to 16.8% of clinically significant bleeding (PIONEER AF-PCI). Consequently, the compliance of OAC/NOAC is commonly suboptimal among PCI patients who require an antithrombotic strategy for AF.
Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a non-pharmacological strategy for stroke prevention in patients with AF. Both randomized data and registries have confirmed it can be an alternative to oral anticoagulation in patients with nonvalvular AF. Current guidelines recommend LAAO for patients with NVAF who have contraindications or are unsuitable for long-term OAC.
Considering the unique high risk of AF patients with PCI, LAAO may be an attractive treatment option by obviating the need for combined oral anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy. However, so far there is no data from neither randomized cohorts nor real-world registries showing if LAAO can be a safe and effective alternative strategy compared to VKA/NOAC for stroke prevention in AF patients who underwent PCI. The PROTECT AF and PREVAIL studies showed that the percutaneous LAAO was non-inferior to warfarin therapy, and the PRAGUE-17 trial showed non-inferior to direct oral anticoagulants, however, the small sample size of these trials limited further subgroup analyses of the PCI sub-population. In the NCDR registry, which is the largest cohort of LAAO up to now, 20.3% of the LAAO patients had a prior myocardial infarction. However, the proportion of stent implantation was not reported. Among previous trials, the proportion of patients with coronary artery disease ranged from 28.5% to 47.5%. The large number of AF patients with CAD warrant the optimal stroke prevention strategy to be assessed in this population.
The primary goal of the proposed study is to investigate if the non-inferiority would be met for the LAAO when compared to NOACs in NVAF patients with PCI in terms of a composite endpoint of any death, any stroke, any myocardial infarction, systemic embolism at 12 months. In addition, the powered key secondary will also have 80% of power to show superiority for the LAAO when compared to NOACs in terms of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding events at 36 months.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO)
Device: The WATCHMAN/WATCHMAN FLX device Drug: Rivaroxaban 15 mg QD + Clopidogrel 75mg QD for 45 days, followed by Aspirin 100mg QD + Clopidogrel 75mg QD for 10.5 months after LAAO |
Watchman device was an umbrella-shaped, self-expanding, nitinol structure with a porous partial polyethylene terephthalate membrane (160 um mesh) and 10 struts.
The membrane portion of the structure faces into the body of the left atrial to block embolization of thrombus and provide scaffolding on which endothelialization can occur.
The On July 21st, 2020, the FDA approved the next generation LAAO device, named Watchman FLX.
This newiteration of the Watchman LAAO platform offers full capability of recapture and redeployment of the device, decreasedmetallic exposure, an increased number of contact points for sealing, a fully rounded delivery shape, and precision anchors designed to provide optimal device engagement with the LAA.
Previous pivotal trials have shown that in patients with atrial fibrillation and requiring antiplatelet treatment, a NOAC plus clopidogrel regimen was associated with a lower incidence of bleeding events as compared with a warfarin-based triple antithrombotic strategy.
Therefore, the current expert opinions and consensus of North American Societies recommend a NOAC plus a P2Y12 inhibitor in patients with AF and PCI.
In the present study, Rivaroxaban + Clopidogre are required for 45 days in LAAO group after LAAO.
Aspirin + Clopidogrel are required from 46 days to 12 months after LAAO.

An NIHSS should be completed at baseline and within 24-48 hours of the stroke event during follow-up for urgent assessment of stroke severity.
If there is a change or abnormality of NIHSS, a neurologist consultation is required to determine whether the increase in the corresponding score compared to the previous visit is due to neurological reasons.
