Epicardial left atrial appendage clip occlusion also provides the electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage.
OBJECTIVES The exclusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been used to reduce the risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). While LAA exclusion has been associated with a reduced risk of stroke, the effect on the electrical activity of the LAA (a potential source of AF) remains unknown. As such, we sought to demonstrate whether surgical epicardial clip occlusion leads to th...

متن کاملA Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a treatment strategy to prevent blood clot formation in atrial appendage. Although, LAA occlusion usually was done by catheter-based techniques, especially percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), it can be done during closed and open mitral valve commissurotomy (CMVC, OMVC) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) too. Nowadays, PTMC is perfor...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage After Electrical Isolation
The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been considered for years as a less relevant part of the left atrium. During the years, its function and role have been extensively studied. The LAA is recognized as the major source (95%) of cardiac emboli in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). In addition, the LAA has been shown to have important roles in atrial natriuretic peptide secretion...
