Transcatheter interatrial shunt device for the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (REDUCE LAP-HF I [Reduce Elevated Left Atrial Pressure in Patients With Heart Failure]): A phase 2, randomized, sham-controlled trial [PDF]

, 2018
Background -In non-randomized, open-label studies, a transcatheter interatrial shunt device (IASD, Corvia Medical) was associated with lower pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), less symptoms, and greater quality of life and exercise capacity in ...

Suspected Cardioembolic Stroke Linked to Left Atrial Stunning After Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
After pulsed field ablation with pulmonary vein and posterior wall isolation, a patient developed ischemic stroke due to left carotid artery occlusion. Pathology of the retrieved thrombus revealed an acute red thrombus, suggesting left atrial stunning–induced thrombus formation.

Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis of Time to Event Data

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
