Although concomitant left atrial appendage (LAA) closure during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery is increasingly used, a high degree of center-level variation in its use is evident. AF, Atrial fibrillation. Hadaya

Graphical Abstract. Sinha

However, regionalization of surgery has increased travel distance, and increased travel distance to high-volume hospitals is associated with decreased likelihood of receiving AC. Nonreceipt of AC is associated with worse survival. Logan
