Left Atrial Appendage Clip in Three Minutes
Dunnington G, Kime A. Left Atrial Appendage Clip in Three Minutes. June 2025. doi:10.25373/ctsnet.29247407
This video shows two examples of left video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) left atrial appendage clipping, focusing on the three elements of port placement, pericardial opening, and perfect clip placement. This technique is increasingly used by surgeons as a standalone procedure or as part of surgical atrial fibrillation ablation in either the Convergent or totally thoracoscopic MAZE procedures.
