[Early to Long-term Results of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using Clip Device in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2024 January
Oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation are the standard approach to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, oral anticoagulant therapy carries the risk of cerebral infarction recurrence, not to mention hemorrhagic complications, even under appropriate drug therapy. Surgical treatments targeting the left atrial appendage include left atrial appendage closure( LAAO) and left atrial appendage resection (LAAR). Our hospital uses AtriClip (approved and available in Japan since 2018) as a device for LAAO, and we investigated the early and long-term results of LAAO using AtriClip in our hospital. As a result, stable early to long-term results were expected for left atrial appendage closure using AtriClip device, suggesting that it may be an option that can be considered as a method for preventing stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. But further investigation is required in the future.
