Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Stroke Prevention

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2017
More than 2.3 million adults in the United States have atrial fibrillation (AF), which exposes them to a 5-fold increased risk of stroke. The left atrial appendage (LAA) appears to be the source of thrombus formation in the vast majority of these patients.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A Narrative Review

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2019
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a proposed alternative to oral anticoagulation in reducing stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. It is suggested that LAAO is most suitable in patients at increased risk of stroke or bleeding or with contraindication to pharmacologic intervention.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

2005
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. It has a prevalence of 0.4% in the general population, which increases with age (1). Two-thirds of those with AF are considered at high risk of stroke defined as a CHADS2 score of 2–6 with an adjusted stroke rate of 4.0–18% (2).

Robotic-assisted left atrial appendage occlusion

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
Atrial fibrillation poses significant stroke risks, particularly in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Left atrial appendage occlusion has emerged as a crucial strategy for stroke prevention, garnering a Class I recommendation. This paper presents a technical framework for performing robotic left atrial appendage occlusion as an isolated procedure or
