I wonder if having a LAA isolation ablation skews the need to be on a NOAC if their CHADS is <2?

It changes their need for a NOAC no matter what their CHADS score is. If your LAA has been isolated and you failed the criteria for coming off anticoagulants at the 6-month TEE, then you can never stop anticoagulants unless you receive an LAA occlusion device.

I never had a post LAA isolation ablation TEE six months later. None actually until my watchman.

That's because Natale knew you needed the Watchman no matter what the TEE said, so why bother?

Natale told me that after LAA is isolated as was mine 8-6-21 that the odds of it being functional at 6 months was maybe 20%. He basically told me to forget it.
He was correct. He called mine silent when he did my Watchman. A dead fish. Thats the great thing about him. Hes seen it all. He knows. The human heart to him is us brewing coffee
