Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Tip of Right Atrial Appendage [PDF]
Right atrial appendage tachycardia is not common and can be eliminated by catheter ablation with a high success rate and low recurrence rate. However, the structural properties of the atrial appendage, including blind-ended structure, abundant ...

4D Printing of Bioinspired Absorbable Left Atrial Appendage Occluders: A Proof-of-Concept Study.
The significant mismatch of mechanical properties between the implanted medical device and biological tissue is prone to cause wear and even perforation. In addition, the limited biocompatibility and nondegradability of commercial Nitinol-based occlusion
