Relation of left atrial appendage closure devices to topographic neighboring structures using standardized imaging by cardiac computed tomography angiography. [PDF]
Although left atrial appendage (LAA) anatomy and topographic relations are well understood, little is known about the impairment of neighboring structures (NBS) by an implanted left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device.

Assessment of Device Neoendothelialization With Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect. [PDF]
Background: Although the transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect was established as the treatment of choice several decades ago, the process of device neoendothelialization (NE) in humans is not well understood.

Mind the Heart: Electrocardiography-gated cardiac computed tomography-angiography in acute ischaemic stroke-rationale and study design. [PDF]
Rationale About one-third of ischaemic strokes are caused by cardioembolism, and a substantial proportion of cryptogenic strokes likely also originate from the heart or aortic arch.
