From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with thrombotic events. In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, 90% of thrombi are formed by the left atrial appendage.

A Meta‐Analysis and Simplified Nomenclature for Diagonal Coronary Artery and Ramus Intermedius Across Adult and Pediatric Hearts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.

Simultaneous Repair of Iatrogenic Left Atrial and Aortic Perforations Using Ductus Arteriosus Occluders: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iatrogenic perforation of the left atrium and aorta during transseptal puncture (TSP) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication. This report presents the case of an elderly male patient with a 20‐year history of atrial fibrillation who experienced this complication during a scheduled left atrial appendage closure procedure ...

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Intracardiac echocardiography guided simultaneous atrial fibrillation ablation and Micra implantation 14 days after Watchman FLX implantation

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation ablation, including pulmonary vein isolation immediately after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC), is a rare and challenging issue.

Dual device intervention for stroke prevention and bradycardia: a case report

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Atrial fibrillation significantly increases the risk of thromboembolic events, necessitating anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, patients with a history of intracranial hemorrhage pose unique management challenges, particularly regarding the

Real‐World Edoxaban Concentrations in Older Patients Receiving Reduced‐Dose Regimens

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Real‐world edoxaban concentrations in older patients receiving reduced‐dose regimens. Low trough concentrations (< 12 ng/mL) were associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. Among patients meeting the ELDERCARE‐AF criteria, low drug levels were more frequent with the 15 mg regimen than with the 30 mg regimen.
