1. A minimally invasive surgical assembly comprising:
an occlusion device for occluding a left atrial appendage of a patient, the occlusion device comprising:
an elongated first link comprising a first end and a second end; and
an elongated second link comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the second link is pivotably coupled to the first end of the first link; and
a delivery device, the delivery device comprising a rigid frame having a receiving aperture adapted to receive at least a portion of the left atrial appendage of the patient, the receiving aperture having a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge that cooperate to form a triangular enclosure, wherein the first link of the occlusion device is removably coupled to a first portion of the frame such that the first link is parallel to the first edge of the receiving aperture and the second link of the occlusion device is removably coupled to a second portion of the frame such that the second link is parallel to the second edge of the receiving aperture.
