What is the side effect if our raa ( right artery appendage) be removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be none: Removing the right atrial appendage should have very little if any physiologic consequences. It is more of a vestigial structure that is frequently manipulated/sewn in cardiac surgery.
