Thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation and association with cognitive decline: systematic review [PDF]

, 2016
Objective:Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with dementia. If AF-related cognitive decline is driven by cerebral embolic events, thromboprophylaxis may impact on this.

Mechanisms of ranolazine's dual protection against atrial and ventricular fibrillation [PDF]

, 2012
Coronary artery disease and heart failure carry concurrent risk for atrial fibrillation and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. We review evidence indicating that at therapeutic concentrations, ranolazine has potential for dual suppression of these

Acute mesenteric ischemia due to superior mesenteric artery embolism in a patient with permanent atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2010
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an uncommon disorder with a high mortality rate. Reduction in mortality requires a high index of suspicion and prompt diagnosis.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Post-procedural Antithrombotic Management

Journal of Clinical Medicine
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an established alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. Antithrombotic therapy is used in the post-procedural period to prevent device-related thrombosis (DRT).

Left atrial appendage ligation with single transthoracic port assistance : a study of survival assessment in a porcine model (with videos) [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion is a well-known procedure for the prevention of stroke in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation and contraindication to long-term oral anticoagulant therapy.

Combining catheter ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation: A propensity score-matched analysis.

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology
BACKGROUND The safety and efficacy of a combined approach of catheter ablation (CA) and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) compared to LAAO alone remain unknown.

Safe, effective and durable epicardial left atrial appendage clip occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery: first long-term results from a prospective device trial [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a significant risk factor for embolic stroke originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA). This is the first report of long-term safety and efficacy data on LAA closure using a novel epicardial LAA clip device ...

Single‐Operator Left atrial appendage Occlusion utilizing Conscious sedation TEE, Lack of Outpatient pre‐imaging, and Same‐day Expedited discharge (SOLO‐CLOSE): A comparison with conventional approach

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with WATCHMAN currently requires preprocedural imaging, general anesthesia, and inpatient overnight admission. We sought to facilitate simplification of LAAO.
