Left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: current status and perspectives. [PDF]

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and systemic embolism, and the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been identified as a principal source of thromboembolism in these patients.

Long-term outcomes of cryoballoon-based left atrial appendage isolation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation

, 2019
Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is not as successful as in paroxysmal AF, and recent data indicate the key role of non-PV triggers.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Atrial septal defect repair by inversion of a juxtaposed left atrial appendage

, 2011
A 7-year-old child was noted to have dextrojuxtaposition of the left atrial appendage at the time of surgical atrial septal defect repair. Given the favourable anatomic location and size of the atrial appendage, it was inverted and used to close the ...

Nut Consumption and Sperm Quality in Healthy Men: Results From the Led‐Fertyl Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nuts are rich in antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, and recent evidence suggests that their regular consumption may be associated with sperm quality. However, the current scientific evidence remains limited and inconsistent.

Potentially‐Preventable Deaths Following Colorectal Surgery: A National Retrospective Cohort Study of Surgical Mortality

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Many deaths after colorectal resection may be preventable, but administrative datasets provide limited insights into the clinical processes leading to mortality. We used the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM) to quantify potentially preventable deaths after colorectal surgery and describe modifiable ...

Diltiazem N‐oxide, a novel ischaemia‐activated prodrug, prevents ischaemia‐induced ventricular fibrillation without off‐target adverse effects

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in coronary heart disease accounts for up to 70% of sudden cardiac death. We examined whether diltiazem N‐oxide (DNO) has ischaemia‐selective antiarrhythmic activity. Experimental Approach Randomised and blinded experiments were performed in rat isolated hearts and in anaesthetised rats to ...
