Innovative new solution to prevent strokes

Chinese medical experts are working on reducing the risk of stroke among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation by using an innovative medical solution.

By closing off the left atrial appendage, the minimally invasive surgery can prevent the formation of blood clots and reduce the risk of long-term disability and death caused by thrombus embolization among atrial fibrillation patients.

Additionally, the solution can potentially eliminate patient dependence on long-term oral anti-clotting therapy. This is a new approach in the prevention of strokes among patients with atrial fibrillation in China.
