An apparatus (10) is provided for reducing the formation and migration of blood clots from an atrial appendage, such as the left atrial appendage, to the blood vessel system of a patient. The apparatus comprises an atrial pacer (12) to treat non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (NRAF) of an atrial appendage so that the formation blood clots within the atrial appendage is decreased or eliminated. In addition, the apparatus includes a blood clot filter (28) supported by the atrial pacer proximate the atrial appendage and the atrium to reduce the migration of blood clots from the atrial appendage into the blood vessel system of a patient.
L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de réduire la formation et la migration de caillots sanguins d'un appendice de l'oreillette, tel que l'appendice de l'oreillette gauche, vers le système vasculaire d'un patient. Cet appareil comprend un pace maker auriculaire destiné à traiter la fibrillation auriculaire non rhumatismale (NRAF) d'un appendice de l'oreillette, de sorte que la formation de caillots sanguins à l'intérieur de l'appendice de l'oreillette est réduite ou éliminée. L'appareil selon l'invention comprend également un filtre destiné à filtrer les caillots sanguins, soutenu par le pace maker auriculaire à proximité de l'appendice de l'oreillette et de l'oreillette, de sorte à réduire la migration de caillots sanguins de l'appendice de l'oreillette dans le système de vasculaire d'un patient.
