Overview[edit | edit source]
Whether left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion could reduce stroke in patients with AF risk factors who undergo non–AF-related cardiac surgery remains uncertain and larger randomized trials are needed to determine whether LAA ligation could benefit this patient population.

2021 NICE Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation [2][edit | edit source]
- Based on NICE guideline updated in 2021 left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) could be considered for atrial fibrillation patients who didn't tolerate other treatments or with contraindications for anticoagulations.
- Nevertheless this method should not be offered as an alternative to anticoagulants in other patients.
