Left atrial appendage closure with a clip in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting achieved 100% occlusion with no strokes or thromboembolic events over 28.6 months.

Does concomitant left atrial appendage closure with an epicardial clip safely achieve complete occlusion and prevent stroke in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting?
Concomitant LAA closure with an epicardial clip during off-pump CABG is safe, achieves 100% occlusion, and may effectively prevent stroke without compromising graft patency.
Left atrial appendage closure with a clip was safely performed in patients undergoing off-pump CABG without harmful effects on the heart or grafts. This surgical option may be effective for stroke prevention in patients undergoing off-pump CABG.
Hirota et al. (Sat,) conducted a observational in Coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation (n=25). Left atrial appendage closure with clip was evaluated on Stroke or thromboembolic events. Left atrial appendage closure with a clip in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting achieved 100% occlusion with no strokes or thromboembolic events over 28.6 months.
