When using the left atrial appendage occlusion device, atrial fibrillation itself should not be ignored

We read with great interest the article titled “Long-term outcome of left atrial appendage occlusion with multiple devices” by Radinovic’s team[ [1] Int. J. Cardiol. 2021 Sep; 21 (S0167-5273(21)01492-3) Google Scholar ]. The study by Radinovic et al. indicates that left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a safe and effective operation in the long-term while multiple LAAO devices currently used can reduce ischemia and bleeding events.
