EPICARDIAL CLIP CLOSURE OF THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE: REPLY [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Epicardial surgical clip is showed to be a safe and effective tool in order to achieve a complete left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion thus reducing the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Historically, other methods as surgical ligation, internal oversewing or external stapling showed to be largely uneffective with an incidence of ...

Percutaneous Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2003
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at high risk of stroke. More than 15% of all strokes are due to atrial fibrillation. So far anticoagulation is the treatment of choice with a risk reduction of almost 70%. On the other hand, anticoagulation has many side effects such as intracranial or gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

New Cerebral Microbleeds After Catheter‐Based Structural Heart Interventions: An Exploratory Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are increasingly recognized as “covert” brain lesions indicating increased risk of future neurological events. However, data on CMBs in patients undergoing catheter‐based structural heart interventions are scarce ...
