Abstract Patients with a variety of medical conditions often receive aspirin, warfarin or clopidogrel to prevent complications from atrial fibrillation, thromboembolisms or stroke. Although these medications can be lifesaving; it also can put patients at greater risk of experiencing haemorrhage after dental surgery. Therefore, a decision must be made whether to interrupt or continue anticoagulant treatment in patients undergoing various dental procedures. We have presented a review of this topic, including a brief description of the more commonly encountered anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications and the current recommendations for the surgical management of these patients.

The left atrial appendage is thought to be responsible for the majority of embolic strokes, and has become an important target in the surgical management of atrial fibrillation. We present an original clip-and-loop technique using an AtriClip via a left minithoracotomy for post-stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. This procedure was performed in 43 cases between March 2018 and January 2020. No patient had a thrombus at the edge of the clip or communication into the left atrial appendage 3 months after surgery. Anticoagulant could be discontinued in all patients. Follow-up at 23 ± 10 months showed no recurrence of stroke.
