Abstract
The exclusion of the #left atrial appendage (LAA) in the setting of
#mitral valve surgery plays an important role in the prevention of
strokes. We propose a method for the definitive closure of the LAA using
an untreated #autologous pericardial patch. The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a known source for thrombus formation
specially in the setting of mitral valve disease [1]. Reversion to sinus #rhythm after chronic atrial fibrillation is a cause for #embolic events often resulting in major neurological impact2.Several methods for
the closure of the LAA, both internal and external, have been proposed
for stroke prevention.
