Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of transepicardial left atrial appendage closure in patients with heart valve disease and atrial fibrillation. Methods: A total of 59 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent valve surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from June 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. Patients who underwent transepicardial left atrial appendage closure were divided into the clipping group (n=29) and patients who underwent no transepicardial left atrial appendage closure into the non-clipping group (n=30). The basic data before surgery, perioperative indicators and follow-up data of the two groups of patients were compared. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, left atrial (LA) thrombosis, preoperative cardiac function, and other underlying diseases between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the preoperative color Doppler ultrasound measured results between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). The preoperative ejection fraction of the clipping group was higher than that of the non-clipping group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in surgical procedures between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Comparison of perioperative indicators and follow-up data between the two groups showed that the total operative time of the clipping group was longer than that in the non-clipping group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the time of cardiopulmonary bypass, ascending aorta occlusion, postoperative hospital stays, recurrence of atrial fibrillation after surgery and stroke incidence between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: For patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing valve surgery, the transepicardial left atrial appendage closure should be routinely performed, which is simple, practical, safe and economical.
