Overview
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.

Recommendation for Cardiac Surgery—LAA Occlusion/Excision Referenced studies that support the modified recommendation are summarized in Online Data Supplement 5
Class IIb |
1. Surgical occlusion of the LAA may be considered in patients with AF undergoing cardiac surgeryS4.4.2-1, as a component of an overall heart team approach to the management of AF.MODIFIED: LOE was updated from C to B-NR because of new evidence. (Level of Evidence: B-NR) " |
2021 NICE Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation [2]
- 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.
