Acute Formation of Thrombus on a Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device Immediately After Detachment

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Clots can form on the left atrial surface of left atrial appendage closure devices, with subsequent thromboembolization. However, we are unaware of any reports of clots forming on the devices immediately after deployment.

Conjugated Porphyrin Polymer With Superior Charge Transfer for Photodynamic‐Immunomodulatory Prevention of CIED Infection in Diabetes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Under NIR irradiation, PTCPP generates ROS to eliminate MRSA biofilms and promote M1 macrophage polarization for phagocytosis. After bacterial clearance, the material is phagocytosed by macrophages, shifting their polarization to M2 phenotype via metabolic reprogramming, which synergistically enhances anti‐infection therapy and wound healing.

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with thrombotic events. In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, 90% of thrombi are formed by the left atrial appendage.

Beyond wound sealing: A dual‐functional adhesive nanofiber membrane promoting coagulation and osteogenesis in extraction sites

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inspired by the suction mechanics of octopus suckers, a dual‐layer nanofiber membrane integrates antibacterial protection, strong wet adhesion, and osteogenic support, offering a bioinspired strategy for effective hemostasis and alveolar bone preservation.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices

, 2014
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk for thromboembolic stroke five-fold. The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been shown to be the main source of thrombus formation in the majority of strokes associated with AF.
