Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Validation of the European Society of Cardiology Ischemic and Bleeding Risk Criteria for Risk Stratification After Endovascular Therapy in Japanese Patients With Lower Extremity Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for peripheral artery disease recommend antithrombotic strategies based on high ischemic risk (HIR) and high bleeding risk (HBR) criteria. However, their prognostic value in patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) remains unclear ...

Same‐Day Discharge After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Who, When, and How?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The burden of severe aortic stenosis requiring treatment is growing due to ageing populations. This places increased demands on health resources due to the growing number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures and hospital bed occupancy.

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Atrial Fibrillation: A Review of Recent Studies with a Focus on Those from the Duke Clinical Research Institute

Scientifica, 2014
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and accounts for one-third of hospitalizations for rhythm disorders in the United States. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation averages 1% and increases with age.

Atrial fibrillation among patients under investigation for suspected obstructive sleep apnea.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Study objectivesObstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with atrial fibrillation, but the prevalence and risk factors for atrial fibrillation among patients who are being investigated on suspicion of sleep apnea are not well known.

Comparative Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary valve replacement is frequently required in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Comparative real‐world outcomes between percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVR) and surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) remain incompletely characterized. We evaluated outcomes and resource utilization for

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the TruSteer and FXD Double Curve Delivery Systems for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With the Watchman FLX Pro Device—The GUIDE‐LAAO Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Deflectable delivery systems have been introduced to enhance coaxial alignment and procedural efficacy during left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), yet randomized comparisons with conventional fixed‐curve systems are lacking. Aims The GUIDE‐LAAO trial evaluated whether the TruSteer deflectable delivery system is non‐inferior to ...

The High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein−Albumin−Lymphocyte Index Is a Prognostic Marker for All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation and immune dysfunction may worsen the prognosis of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aims This study aimed to assess whether the high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein–albumin–lymphocyte index (hsCALLYI) could be used to predict the prognosis of STEMI patients who received emergency ...
