Catheter-based left atrial appendage closure [PDF]

Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening, 2018
Atrieflimmer er en vanlig tilstand i befolkningen og gir økt risiko for hjerneslag. Antikoagulasjonsbehandling er effektivt for å forebygge tromboembolisme ved atrieflimmer, men av ulike grunner blir mange atrieflimmerpasienter med indikasjon for antikoagulasjonsbehandling ikke behandlet.

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.

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

Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2011
Surgical and interventional exclusion left atrial appendage (LAA) are becoming important alternatives to oral anticoagulation to prevent stroke caused by clot formation in the left atrial appendage during atrial fibrillation. Herein we present the different approaches to LAA occlusion. This can be achieved by endocardial and epicardial approaches. Each

Left atrial appendage closure: outcomes and challenges [PDF]

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2016
Whereas the left atrial appendage plays a rather minor role under physiological circumstances, it gains an importance in patients with atrial fibrillation. Compelling evidence has revealed that the left atrial appendage is implicated as the source of thrombus in the vast majority of strokes in atrial fibrillation.

Echocardiography‐Assisted Stenting of the Ductus Venosus in Infracardiac TAPVC: Report of a New Technique and Review of the Literature

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonates with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) frequently require urgent treatment. If surgical repair is contraindicated due to extreme prematurity, interventional stenting of the ductus venosus (DV) has been introduced successfully to postpone surgery.

Totally Thoracoscopic Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2019
The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a major site of clot formation in atrial fibrillation. Stand-alone thoracoscopic LAA complete closure can decrease stroke risk and may be an alternative to life-long oral anticoagulation. This report describes a technique for totally thoracoscopic LAA exclusion with an epicardial clip device.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...
