What is the side effect if our laa do the atriclip?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Atrial clip exper: The jury is still out on the utility, safety and efficacy of the left atrial clip to decrease thromboembolic risk in patients with AF. SO I would proceed very cautiously and make sure: the MD doing procedure has loads of experience; that is, how many put in successfully; it is an INVASIVE procedure still via the groin; a "pinhole" is made in atrial septum; and risk of stroke is not only LAA.

Few: Recent research in the U.S. suggests that Atriclip may be the most effective procedure so far in preventing clots leading to stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. The most common complications occur shortly after the procedure and include bleeding & infection. Even if you're doing fine right now, you still need regular follow-up to evaluate both the device and your overall health.
