LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE CLOSURE USING LEFT FEMORAL VEIN APPROACH [PDF]

, 2015
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia and is associated with major complications such as thromboembolic events. Anticoagulation therapy remains an important component of AF treatment to avoid thromboembolism.

Concomitant left atrial appendage exclusion during cardiac surgery: a single-center case series on technique profile, residual flow, and early safety

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Concomitant left atrial appendage exclusion is increasingly performed during cardiac surgery in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, real-world data on procedural variations, closure integrity, and early safety are limited.

Impacts of Left Atrial Appendage Treatments on Mitral Valve Diseases during Surgical Ablations

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Left atrial appendages (LAAs) play an important role in regulating left atrial function, and much evidence supports the possibility that changes in left atrial structure may cause or worsen mitral regurgitation.
