Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In a randomized trial, 4811 patients with atrial fibrillation were assigned to undergo or not undergo left atrial appendage occlusion during cardiac surgery for another indication. At 3 years, 77% of the patients continued to receive oral anticoagulation. At 3.8 years, the risk of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism was significantly lower with occlusion than without it.
