Medium-to-Long-Term Success Rate of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using Endocardial Sutures and Postoperative Anticoagulant Strategies

Surgical endocardial closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is reported to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective study assessed the efficacy and safety of endocardial suture obliteration with medium-to-long-term follow-up.
