Brief Summary   this randomized control trial (pilot study) aims to compare effectiveness of two surgical techniques for left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion during mitral valve surgery in preventing thromboembolic events and improving clinical outcomes. post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20-25% of cardiac surgeries, increasing risk of stroke and mortality. The LAA is responsible for 90% of left atrial thrombi in atrial fibrillation patients, is commonly managed through surgical occlusion or excision. Despite guidelines recommending LAA closure/ occlusion no consensus exists on best technique. This prospective, single blinded RCT will evaluate short term clinical outcomes and long-term thromboembolic risk to identify the optimal LAA management strategy.
