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

Transnasal Transesophageal Echocardiography Guidance for Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure [PDF]

, 2019
In the local anesthesia state, left atrial appendage closure cannot be accomplished under the real-time guidance of conventional transesophageal echocardiography because it induces significant discomfort for the patient.

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.

Echocardiographic aspects of left atrial appendage closure [PDF]

, 2020
Stroke is the most life-threatening complication of thromboembolism in non-valvular AF patients.The mechanical LAA closure technique was invented to prevent thrombus formation in the most common site (left appendage).The Left appendage can be isolated ...

Discriminating factors excluding patients from a catheter-based left atrial appendage closure and an outcome analysis of non-intervened and intervened patients

Archives of Medical Science, 2020
Introduction The catheter-based left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has evolved as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) among non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in whom long-term OAC is contraindicated.

Totally thoracoscopic concomitant left atrial appendage closure and left ventricular epicardial lead implantation [PDF]

, 2021
Atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure due to ventricular dyssynchrony needs decision-making on the rate and rhythm control strategies together with cardiac resynchronization therapy and antithrombotic prophylaxis.
