Differences in fibrin clots parameters. (A) Characteristics of fibrin clots permeability prepared from blood obtained from the left atrial appendage and clots prepared from peripheral blood taken before the left atrial appendage exclusion, directly after the procedure, and after 1-month follow-up. (B) Characteristics of clot lysis time prepared from blood obtained from the left atrial appendage and clots prepared from peripheral blood taken before the left atrial appendage exclusion, directly after the procedure, and after 1-month follow-up. Data are presented as median [Q1–Q3] and were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. LAAO, left atrial appendage occlusion; LAA, left atrial appendage.
