Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

The Convergent Ablation and AtriClip Exclusion of the Left Atrial Appendage in Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2022
We here present a case of a 54-year-old man with longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation refractory to direct current electrical cardioversion who underwent a concurrent convergent ablation and Atriclip exclusion of left atrial appendage.

Two-year clinical outcome from the Iberian registry patients after left atrial appendage closure [PDF]

, 2015
AIMS: The aim of this study was to observe the percentage of thromboembolic and haemorrhagic events over a 2-year follow-up in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) undergoing closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) with an occlusion ...

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.

Combined MitraClip implantation and left atrial appendage occlusion using the Watchman device: A case series from a referral center

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017
Introduction: Patients referred for percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system frequently have atrial fibrillation, which imposes additional challenges due to the need for oral anticoagulation.

Magnetocardiography combined with machine learning for pulmonary hypertension detection and improved short‐term risk assessment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) enables non‐invasive mapping of cardiac magnetic fields. In this study, an MCG‐based machine learning model detects pulmonary hypertension with robust performance. Furthermore, MCG features may improve the accuracy of short‐term risk assessment.

Effects of Endocardial Microwave Energy Ablation [PDF]

, 2005
Until recently the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) consisted primarily of palliation, mostly in the form of pharmacological intervention. However because of recent advances in nonpharmacologic therapies, the current expectation of patients and ...

A brief overview of surgery for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2014
The Maze procedure was the first surgical technique developed to ablate, rather than isolate, atrial fibrillation and was first performed clinically in 1987.

LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE SEAL FOLLOWING PERCUTANEOUS LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020
Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is well established as an alternative to anticoagulation therapy for stroke prophylaxis among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Only the Watchman® device has FDA approval for this indication.
