Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 3, Page 754-761, February 15, 2026.ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a valuable alternative to long‐term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those at high bleeding risk. Hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) and device‐related thrombus (DRT) remain notable postprocedural concerns ...

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 307-321, January 2026.Plain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 30, Issue 5, September 2025.ABSTRACT This letter critically appraises the recent study by Long et al. investigating the role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in guiding and evaluating left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) among patients with non‐organic heart disease. While the authors demonstrate the procedural utility of TEE, its limitations, including invasiveness ...
