Left atrial appendage occlusion by invagination and double suture technique [PDF]

, 2012
Left atrial appendage (LAA) plays a crucial role as a source of atrial thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus, the need to close LAA becomes evident in patients with AF who undergo concomitant mitral valve surgery. Unfortunately, it has

Feasibility Study on Atrial Fibrillation Ablation with Pulsed Field Ablation and concomitant Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage. [PDF]

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are increasingly performed as individual procedures. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has significantly reduced procedure duration and may be advantageous for ...

Intracardiac Echocardiography-guided Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a suitable alternative to oral anticoagulant therapy to prevent stroke in patients with AF. Most procedures are performed under transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) guidance, which facilitates transseptal ...

Characterization of Cerebrovascular Events After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion.

, 2016
Cardioembolic strokes are generally more lethal and disabling than other source of strokes. Data from PROTECT AF (Watchman Left Atrial Appendage Closure Technology for Embolic Protection in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation) suggest that strokes after ...

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.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure vs. Oral Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Efficacy and safety outcomes from meta‐analysis of left atrial appendage closure versus anticoagulation therapy in atrial fibrillation. Pooled analysis of 3116 participants from four randomized trials demonstrated comparable composite outcome of stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular/unexplained mortality between LAAC and standard ...

Atrial Leadless Pacemaker Embolization to the Left Common Iliac Vein With Successful Retrieval: A Case Report

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
A rare extracardiac complication in which a dislodged atrial leadless pacemaker migrated retrogradely to the left common iliac vein. This case highlights the role of venous anatomy in implantation difficulty and demonstrates successful device retrieval using a preventive strategy.
