Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Atrial fibrillation is a disruption in the electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (atria). The most common site where blood clots form is the left atrial appendage, a small sac-like pouch at the top of the left atrium. If a patient cannot take blood thinning medication to guard against clots, the doctor may recommend closure of the left atrial appendage.
