Brief Summary  
The primary objective is to examine the impact of LAA occlusion on the incidence of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack with positive neuroimaging or systemic arterial embolism over the duration of follow-up in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

The primary clinical hypothesis is that patients who have had their LAA occluded/removed will benefit over those on usual care alone.
