The follow\-up period was over 24 months Results summary LAA closure is associated with good short\- and medium\-term outcomes, even in high\-risk patients. Both endocardial and epicardial procedures effectively reduce the risk of thromboembolism, ranging from 69% for LAAO to 91% for LAAC at long\-term follow\-up. When LAA with technically difficult anatomy is found, consideration should be given to the use of advanced devices such as the LAmbre occluder, which are safe and comparable in efficacy to other occluders. LAA occlusion treatments not only reduce the risk of ischemic stroke, but also reduce mortality due to cardiovascular disease. After LAA closure, mortality after the procedure was predominantly due to noncardiovascular causes. In patients at increased risk of thromboembolism and bleeding, the most important complication requiring hospitalization was severe gastrointestinal bleeding, which occurred most frequently in the first 6 months after the procedure."]
