The left atrial appendage is a structure inside the left atrium, the left upper chamber of the heart. This structure can be prone to heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation, and can promote clot formation. Left atrial appendage closure is a surgical intervention to prevent clot formation in these cases.
Left atrial appendage closure surgery is usually performed using minimally invasive methods. In this procedure, the appendage inside the left atrium is closed with a special device or tied with sutures. This reduces the risk of clot formation and reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
