Left Atrial Appendage Closure With the Watchman™ Device [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundStroke secondary to atrial fibrillation has been associated to a high risk of permanent, severe disability, and high early mortality, and therefore its effective prevention is of paramount importance. Warfarin therapy reduces the risk of stroke

Left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: current status and perspectives. [PDF]

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and systemic embolism, and the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been identified as a principal source of thromboembolism in these patients.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...
