Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke, with the left atrial appendage (LAA) being the predominant source of thrombi. Surgical LAA occlusion (LAAO) with devices like the AtriClip offers a mechanical alternative to long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC), particularly for patients at high bleeding risk or with OAC contraindications.
