AtriClip: One Quick Simple Step, A Lifetime of
Stroke Risk Reduction
Reduce the Risk of Stroke*- with one quick simple
step
By Eliminating the LAA – recommended class I ESC/EACTS
With AtriClip Devices – proven of >98%
successful exclusion
AtriClip Devices are:
specifically designed for LAAE
now indicated for use in patients at high risk of
thromboembolism
for whom left atrial appendage exclusion is warranted.
*Originated from the LAA
Seize the chance,
exclude the LAA
AtriCures AtriClip products are the most
widely sold Left Atrial Appendage (LAA)
management devices worldwide.
>98%
Successful LAA
exclusion1
A portfolio of proven devices to eliminate the LAA
Surgical LAAO reduced ischemic stroke by 42% after the perioperative
period
There was no evidence of adverse effects from surgical
LAA03
LAAE: What’s the best
technique?
Petersen J et al; 2024
LAA clipping and surgical LAA excision proved to be successful LAA
closure methods
The AtriClip device achieved 98,4% of success4
Additional supporting data:
Left atrial appendage elimination is frequently Incomplete
(3 techniques of LAA elimination: internal suture ligation,
external stapled excision,
and
surgical excision)6. Lee, R. et al, 2016
Successful I AA closure occurred more often with excision
(73%) than suture
exclusion
(23%) and stapler exclusion (0%) (p 0.001)7Kanderian et al, 2008
AtriClip for LAAE: Safety & Efficacy
Toale et al, 2019
The AtriClip device achieved complete LAA closure in 97.8%5
“In 2024, we must have a valid reason for not performing concomitant AF surgery in patients
with a history of AF who are undergoing CABG, MVR, AV, or a combination of it.
Otherwise, we are not providing an acceptable standard of care to our patients”
