A Case of Idiopathic Chest Pain Following Watchman Device Placement

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Chest pain following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with the Watchman device is rare but can occur due to complications such as pericarditis or myocardial infarction. We present the case of a 59‐year‐old male with atrial fibrillation who developed sharp, left‐sided chest pain exacerbated by inspiration after undergoing Watchman device ...

Presence of patent foramen ovale does not increase cerebrovascular event rates in patients with atrial fibrillation following left atrial appendage closure

Heliyon
Objective: Both atrial fibrillation (AF) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been associated with occurrences of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patients with concomitant AF and PFO were at an increased risk of stroke ...

Stroke prevention in an octogenarian with atrial fibrillation, cerebral amyloid angiopathy and intracerebral hemorrhage

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message Left‐atrial‐appendage‐closure (LAAC) is suggested as alternative to antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy (AP/AC) for stroke‐prevention in patients with cerebral‐amyloid‐angiopathy (CAA), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and atrial ...

Initial Japanese Multicenter Experience and Age-Related Outcomes Following Left Atrial Appendage Closure: The OCEAN-LAAC Registry.

JACC. Asia, 2023
Limited data are available describing left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and age-related outcomes in Asians.This study summarizes the initial experience with LAAC in Japan and determines age-related clinical outcomes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous LAAC.In an ongoing, prospective, investigator-initiated ...

Intracardiac echocardiography versus transesophageal echocardiography guidance on left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
ICE is a viable alternative to TEE for guiding LAAO in atrial fibrillationpatients unable to tolerate anti‐coagulants, especially those unfit for general anesthesia. It offers high procedural success, reduced device use, and comparable safety, though with a slightly increased risk of pericardial effusion.

What characterizes device‐related thrombosis following LAAC, if ejection fraction fails to shine?

Echocardiography
AbstractCardiac compartmental size depends on sex, with smaller values found in (healthy) women compared to a matched group of men. Various types of heart disease may cause dilation of the affected chamber. For example, atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with enlarged left atrial (LA) size, often also implying increased left ventricular (LV) size ...
