The effect of the pericardial patching exclusion technique for left atrial appendage closure on postoperative reopening rate

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the primary source of cardiogenic embolism in atrial fibrillation patients. Traditional LAA closure methods have shown suboptimal clinical outcomes.

Surgical Methods and Devices for Atrial Fibrillation

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
As technology advances, surgical approaches for atrial fibrillation have diversified. Surgical treatments include Cox-Maze surgery, left atrial appendage occlusion, or closure using a clip. Cox-Maze surgery removes excessive cardiac electrical conduction

Left Atrial Thrombus in the Setting of Mitral Stenosis

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2023
A 56-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented with exertional shortness of breath. Echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance, and computed tomography showed mitral stenosis and a left atrial thrombus.

White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Left atrial appendage closure with the Amplatzer cardiac plug in patients with atrial fibrillation

, 2012
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OA) for prevention of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)

Early postoperative interventional ASD-closure for severe atrial right to left shunt in a neonate with common arterial trunk [PDF]

, 2013
Although closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD II) with an occluding device in the first year of life is not a routine procedure, it is a feasible treatment, even in neonates.

Diffuse MRI Edema Predicts Relapse in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy–Related Inflammation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify MRI predictors of relapse and quantify relapse and mortality risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy–related inflammation (CAA‐RI). A secondary objective was to assess the association between mycophenolate mofetil use and relapse risk. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 36 patients with CAA‐RI treated at the

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure using the LAmbre device in patients with atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage thrombus

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is considered a valid alternative for the prevention of thromboembolic stroke in patients with persistent left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) despite adequate anticoagulation.

Symptomatic giant left atrial aneurysm in a child : a rare entity [PDF]

, 2010
Isolated left atrial aneurysms are rare entities in clinical practice. Usually the condition is diagnosed in the second to fourth decades of life. The presence of such lesions in the pediatric age group is scantily described.

14‐3‐3γ Protects Against Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction by Regulating Tau Thr205 Phosphorylation and Synaptic Integrity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrative multi‐cohort analyses identify 14‐3‐3γ as a biomarker and regulator of cognitive vulnerability. Experimental studies show that 14‐3‐3γ loss is associated with Tau Thr205 phosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive impairment, while genetic overexpression or pharmacological stabilization of 14‐3‐3γ confers protective effects in ...
