1% Aspiration, 99% Perspiration

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
A 71-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent insertion of a left atrial appendage occlusion device. Before release, a large thrombus was noted within the left atrium, attached to the left atrial appendage occluder delivery system.

Giant left atrial appendage aneurysm [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2014
A 35-year-old black man without cardiovascular risk factor presented with dizziness. Physical examination found an irregular cardiac rhythm and ECG revealed atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed small and recent vertebrobasilar ischaemic strokes.

Beyond wound sealing: A dual‐functional adhesive nanofiber membrane promoting coagulation and osteogenesis in extraction sites

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inspired by the suction mechanics of octopus suckers, a dual‐layer nanofiber membrane integrates antibacterial protection, strong wet adhesion, and osteogenic support, offering a bioinspired strategy for effective hemostasis and alveolar bone preservation.

Photogrammetric Reconstruction of 3D Human Anatomical Structures and Augmented Reality via Smartphone Technology

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to cadavers necessitates the availability of digital resources for anatomy education. Smartphone‐based photogrammetry offers a promising solution for creating three‐dimensional (3D) and augmented reality (AR) models. This study compared two mobile photogrammetry applications (Qlone and Polycam) that have been used in modern ...

The Left Atrial Appendage Revised

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is associated with a 4- to 5-fold strokes increase and may be responsible for 15% to 20% of all strokes in the elderly. In this scenario, the left atrial appendage thrombus would be the associated with 90% of cases.

The Prognostic Impact of Multiple Adverse Events on Long‐Term Mortality Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are individually associated with poor outcomes, but the prognostic impact of the overlap of different event types occurring sequentially within the same patient remains uncertain.

Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy due to ectopic atrial tachycardia originating from the atrial appendage: A case series and review of literature

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal
This case series describes four cases of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to incessant ectopic atrial tachycardias from the atrial appendage (three from the right atrial appendage, one from the left).

Epicardial delivery of autologous atrial appendage micrografts during coronary artery bypass surgery—safety and feasibility study

Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2017
Background The atrial appendages are a tissue reservoir for cardiac stem cells. During on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, part of the right atrial appendage can be excised upon insertion of the right atrial cannula of the heart-lung ...

Annular Ellipticity and Sizing Strategy in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Independent or Combined Risk Patterns?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Elliptical annular anatomy has been considered a risk factor for adverse outcomes after TAVI, particularly paravalvular leakage (PVL). Prosthesis oversizing is thought to improve sealing, but the interaction between annular shape and sizing strategy remains unclear.
