Does Surgical Ablation offer additional benefit over Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion?
Dr. Hunter Mehaffey is an outstanding Cardiac Surgeon and Clinical Researcher at the West Virginia University. He recently presented at the AATS 2023 meeting and published in JTCVS a large Medicare analysis of over 100,000 cardiac surgery patients with pre-existing AF in attempts to answer the question if surgical ablation confers additional clinical advantage over LAAO alone. This is definitely worth a listen!
