An Optimized Multi‐Stage Drainage Cannula Design for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 1372-1383, October 2026.
This study utilized an extensive optimization involving n = 540 design of experiments to produce a superior drainage cannula design. Compared to the clinically used Maquet model, our optimized design demonstrated reduced blood stagnation volumes, increased cannula tip velocities, and higher upper body drainage, potentially minimizing risk of thrombosis

Risk factors of incomplete endothelialization after left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation

Introduction We aimed to investigate the risk factors of incomplete device endothelialization (IDE) following left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and provide a nomogram model for predicting the risks of IDE in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF ...

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula after ice axe injury 27 years ago: A case report

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 10, Page 4351-4359, 1 October 2026.
Abstract We report a case of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the superficial femoral artery and femoral vein that went undetected for 27 years following an ice axe injury during a climbing accident in 1997. An AVF is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, where blood flows directly from the high‐flow arterial system to the

Individual and Community‐Level Differences in Use of Contemporary Electrophysiology Procedures in the United States

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Although the availability of electrophysiology technologies has expanded in the United States, little is known about how sociodemographic factors influence their use. This national study of the Medicare population aims to (1) examine trends in

Persistence and Distortion of Electrical Activity in the LAA 5 Years After Endovascular Occlusion

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
This is the first report demonstrating persistence and distortion of electrical activity in the left atrial appendage 5 years after endovascular occlusion with a Watchman device. Electrical conduction is impaired providing an arrhythmogenic substrate for

72-year-old woman after a left atrial appendage occluder

, 2019
A 72-year-old woman presented for routine echocardiography 6 months following percutaneous insertion of a left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) due to atrial fibrillation with contraindications to anticoagulation. The procedure was uncomplicated, and she

PLAATO (Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Transcatheter Occlusion) for prevention of cardioembolic stroke in non-anticoagulation eligible atrial fibrillation patients: results from the European PLAATO study

, 2010
The European PLAATO (Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Transcatheter Occlusion) study was performed to determine the safety and efficacy of left atrial appendage occlusion by catheter technique.

Characterization of Cerebrovascular Events After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion. [PDF]

, 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 ...
