LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE SEAL FOLLOWING PERCUTANEOUS LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020 Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is well established as an alternative to anticoagulation therapy for stroke prophylaxis among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Only the Watchman® device has FDA approval for this indication.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the valent type of valvular heart disease, caused by primary leaflet lesions or annular dilatation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction. It can lead to a series of complications such as volume overload, exacerbated pulmonary congestion, and heart failure, significantly impacting patient prognosis ...

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

A Case of Venous Tissue Dissection During Transcatheter MitraClip Surgery
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The MitraClip system has been widely used to treat mitral regurgitation. The complications associated with MitraClip surgery typically include clip detachment and mitral valve injury. However, cases of venous tissue dissection during surgery are relatively rare.

Right atrial appendage thrombus with atrial infarct in a case of thyrotoxicosis: An autopsy report
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2010 Cardiac function has long been known to be altered in patients with thyrotoxicosis and atrial fibrillation occurs in patients with hyperthyroidism. In addition to its disabling symptoms, atrial fibrillation is a strong risk factor for systemic embolism ...

Randomized trial of conventional transseptal needle versus radiofrequency energy needle puncture for left atrial access (the TRAVERSE-LA study). [PDF]
, 2013 BackgroundTransseptal puncture is a critical step in achieving left atrial (LA) access for a variety of cardiac procedures. Although the mechanical Brockenbrough needle has historically been used for this procedure, a needle employing radiofrequency (RF)
