What To Expect if the Surgeon Adds an AtriClip to Your Heart Surgery? The AtriClip will be placed at the base of the LAA to permanently close it during your surgery. The AtriClip has been specifically designed for LAA Exclusion and is covered by a special fabric which can help keep the AtriClip in place without cutting or piercing the LAA tissue . As with any heart surgery, you will be monitored during your recovery. Your doctor will determine how long you need to be in the hospital. The AtriClip does not make the stay in the hospital any longer or shorter. Your doctor will prescribe medications for your overall health condition before you leave the hospital. It is always important to tell other doctors if you have AF. It is also important for them to know if you take medications.
