Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2011
Surgical and interventional exclusion left atrial appendage (LAA) are becoming important alternatives to oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke caused by clot formation in the left atrial appendage during atrial fibrillation. Herein we present the different approaches to LAA occlusion. This can be achieved by endocardial and epicardial approaches. Each

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: New perspectives for the method [PDF]

, 2017
Ischemic stroke is a common complication of atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, oral anticoagulant drugs are the most commonly used method of stroke prevention. Left atrial appendage occlusion is thought to be the main source of thrombi in patients with
