In a review of all relevant articles describing the site of left atrial thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation, the thrombus was localized to the left atrial appendage in 43% of patients with rheumatic heart disease and in 91% of patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. This study was designed to test the feasibility of thoracoscopic obliteration of the left atrial appendage as a means of reducing thromboembolic stroke.
