Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
The majority of embolic strokes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are caused by thrombi in the left atrial appendage. It is projected that strokes related to atrial fibrillation will markedly increase in the future unless effective ...

Long-Term Efficacy and Anticoagulation Strategy of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Total Thoracoscopic Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation to Prevent Ischemic Stroke

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased ischemic stroke, and the left atrial appendage (LAA) represents the main source of thrombus formation.

Genetic, epigenetic, and post‐transcriptional basis of divergent tissue regenerative capacities among vertebrates

Advanced Genetics, 2021
Regeneration is widespread across the animal kingdom but varies vastly across phylogeny and even ontogeny. Adult mammalian regeneration in most organs and appendages is limited, while vertebrates such as zebrafish and salamanders are able to regenerate ...
