Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity: Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with obesity undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been mixed. Clinical data in the context of pulsed field ablation (PFA) are currently limited in this patient cohort.

Transcatheter interatrial shunt device for the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (REDUCE LAP-HF I [Reduce Elevated Left Atrial Pressure in Patients With Heart Failure]): A phase 2, randomized, sham-controlled trial [PDF]

, 2018
Background -In non-randomized, open-label studies, a transcatheter interatrial shunt device (IASD, Corvia Medical) was associated with lower pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), less symptoms, and greater quality of life and exercise capacity in ...

Worsening Hypoxemia in a Patient With Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis: Role of Patent Foramen Ovale Mediated Right‐to‐Left Shunt

Sonography, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT PFO mediated right‐to‐left shunt was found to be responsible for worsening exertional hypoxemia in an elderly patient with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Transcatheter PFO closure resolved the hypoxemia. This case highlights the need to evaluate intracardiac shunts in hypoxic patients, even with coexisting pulmonary pathology.

Chordae tendineae rupture: a rare cause of tricuspid regurgitation following coronary artery bypass grafting

BMC Anesthesiology
Background Tricuspid regurgitation is classified broadly by its etiology being either structural or functional. New or worsening tricuspid regurgitation upon weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass is rare and often functional. However, iatrogenic structural

Incidence and Predictors of Hypoattenuated Thickening and Device‐Related Thrombus at Three Months Postprocedural CT Assessment Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Amplatzer Devices—A Single‐Center Cohort

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 3, Page 754-761, February 15, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a valuable alternative to long‐term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those at high bleeding risk. Hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) and device‐related thrombus (DRT) remain notable postprocedural concerns ...
