WILLIAM P. LONGMIRE JR. M.D.1; JOHN M. BEAL M.D.1; and WILLIAM H. LEAKE M.D.1

Resection of the auricular appendage for recurrent embolism was performed in three cases of rheumatic heart disease with persistent auricular fibrillation.

Mural thrombi were demonstrated in each case. Cardiac function was not apparently influenced by the operative procedure. No evidence of further embolization has been noted over a followup period of five to 10 months.
