Impact of left atrial appendage closure on circulating microvesicles levels: The MICROPLUG study

N Amabile, I Bagdadi, S Armero et al. Keywords: LAA occlusion; circulating microvesicles; coagulation

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND - Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a valid alternative to oral anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Microvesicles (MVs) are shed-membrane particles generated during various cellular types activation/apoptosis that carry out diverse biological effects. LAA has been suspected to be a potential source of MVs during AF, but the effects its occlusion on circulating MVs levels are unknown.

 

METHODS - N = 25 LAAO and n = 25 control patients who underwent coronary angiography were included. Blood samples were drawn before and 48 h after procedure for all. A third sample was collected 6 weeks after procedure in LAAO patients. In N = 10 extra patients, samples were collected from right atrium, LAA and pulmonary vein during LAAO procedure. Circulating AnnV + procoagulant, endothelial, platelets, red blood cells/RBC and leukocytes derived-MVs were measured using flow cytometry methods.

 

RESULTS - In the LAAO group, AnnV+, platelets, RBC, and leukocytes MVs were significantly increased following intervention, whereas only AnnV + MVs levels significantly rose in controls. The 6-w analysis showed that RBC-MVs and AnnV + MVs levels were still significantly elevated compared to baseline values in LAAO patients. The in-site analysis revealed that leukocytes and CD62e + endothelial-MVs were significantly higher in left atrial appendage compared to pulmonary vein, suggesting a local increased production. No major adverse event was observed in any patient post procedural course.

 

CONCLUSIONS - LAAO impacts circulating MVs and might create mild pro-coagulant status and potential erythrocytes activation due to the device healing during the first weeks following intervention.
