2019, Interventional Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :It is highly reassuring that most of these new atrial arrhythmia events were consisted of a single isolated episode, occurred during or early (<30 days) after the procedure, and rarely led to a recurrent cerebrovascular event or required long-term anticoagulation. Only 5 out of 1889 (∼0.1%) patients in all 6 trials developed recurrent stroke attributed to device-associated atrial fibrillation, and 3 of these cases were with the STARFlex device that is no longer commercially available.17,64–66 Therefore, the stroke risk that this type of atrial fibrillation conveys seems to be minimal, and most of the patients do not require long-term anticoagulation (eg, 70% of the patients in CLOSE who developed device-associated atrial fibrillation eventually had their anticoagulation discontinued).35–37,46–48
