Article Synopsis
- The study examined how isolating the left atrial appendage (LAA) affects clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who had surgical ablation along with mitral valve (MV) surgery.
- Among 875 patients analyzed, those who had LAA isolated experienced a significantly lower risk of long-term stroke compared to those who preserved it, but there were no notable differences in mortality or AF recurrence.
- The findings suggest that while LAA isolation reduces long-term stroke risk, it does not lead to increased survival rates for these patients.
