Balancing risk: Hemorrhagic stroke and Afib

Hi Tazio,
As fellow members @hopeful33250 @predictable and @yoannehave pointed out, this is not an easy question to answer. In fact, we took your question to a Mayo Clinic pharmacist and this is what she recommends:
"The title of your question sums it up pretty well. It’s all about balancing risk. There is no good answer for this. It’s important to have very in depth conversations with your health care provider to determine if you are at greater risk for either a clot or a stroke and where to go from there."

@tazi0
hello!
nearly one month has passed, since you posted your difficult question. did you discussed it with your medical team in the meantime? I would be very pleased, if you could let us know.
a couple of days ago I read an article about a preventive measure in your left atrium for A-Fib. it is called LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE CLOSURE (LAAC). in the heart center, where I was treated, this is becoming more and more popular. the great advantage is that patients no longer need oral bloodthinners. did your medical team discussed this option with you?
