DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.853299
Abstract: Objectives Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased ischemic stroke, and the left atrial appendage (LAA) represents the main source of thrombus formation. We evaluated the long-term efficacy of surgical thoracoscopic LAA occlusion during… read more here.
