Abstract

The left atrial appendage is often closed by doctors performing open-heart surgery to reduce the risk of stroke for patients with atrial fibrillation, yet it’s not clear whether this can prevent strokes in patients who have not been diagnosed with the condition. The LAACS-2 team aim to gain a fuller picture of whether this operation protects against stroke, as Dr Helena Dominguez explains
