Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and is a prominent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy has been the main strategy for stroke prevention in AF patients; however, OAC therapy carries a bleeding risk and is not tolerated by all patients. Left atrial appendage (LAA) closure offers a non-pharmacological alternative for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF. In this update, an overview of current and emerging LAA occluders is given – with special attention to the key design features of every single device and, if available, preclinical or clinical data.
