LAAO for Prevention of Stroke & Systemic Embolism due to Atrial Fibrillation: Interpreting and Applying New Evidence from CHAMPION-AF and CLOSURE-AF

Tuesday | July 21, 2026 | 12:00 pm ET

Recent randomized trial data are reshaping the role of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in atrial fibrillation. This webinar will review key findings from CHAMPION-AF and CLOSURE-AF, including how LAAO compares with anticoagulation therapy for stroke prevention, bleeding outcomes, procedural risk, and patient selection. Faculty will discuss how these data should inform clinical decision-making, patient selection, and the role of shared decision-making in practice.
