A comparative study of thoracoscopic left atrial appendage clipping versus stapled resection
CONCLUSIONS: The clipping group demonstrated a higher rate of complete LAA closure compared to the stapled resection group. Close monitoring of patients with residual LAA stumps is essential. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to elucidate impact of residual LAA stump on thromboembolic events.PMID:37734642 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.09.010
