Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Should it become Standard of Care?

2021-09-25

Abstract excerpt

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting the general population, with the prevalence projected to reach 12.1 million cases in 2030. Recently, attention has focused on the role of the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) and its association with the most feared complication of AF: thromboembolism. Common sense indicates that the LAA should be excluded in all patients with AF; however, procedures to e...
