Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021
The majority of embolic strokes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are caused by thrombi in the left atrial appendage. It is projected that strokes related to atrial fibrillation will markedly increase in the future unless effective ...
