Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for studies comparing combined LAAO and CA versus isolated LAAO in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the characteristics and quality of life (QoL) of patients diagnosed with childhood-onset craniopharyngioma, analyzing data from 66 patients treated between 2008 and 2022.
