Transcatheter interatrial shunt device for the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (REDUCE LAP-HF I [Reduce Elevated Left Atrial Pressure in Patients With Heart Failure]): A phase 2, randomized, sham-controlled trial [PDF]

, 2018
Background -In non-randomized, open-label studies, a transcatheter interatrial shunt device (IASD, Corvia Medical) was associated with lower pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), less symptoms, and greater quality of life and exercise capacity in ...

Simultaneous Repair of Iatrogenic Left Atrial and Aortic Perforations Using Ductus Arteriosus Occluders: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 524-526, February 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Iatrogenic perforation of the left atrium and aorta during transseptal puncture (TSP) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication. This report presents the case of an elderly male patient with a 20‐year history of atrial fibrillation who experienced this complication during a scheduled left atrial appendage closure procedure ...

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.

Left atrial appendage occlusion in patients suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 and 5). Long‐term follow‐up

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions
Advanced chronic kidney disease (A‐CKD) combined with atrial fibrillation increases the risk of both thrombogenic and bleeding events. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may be an alternative to oral anticoagulation to prevent thromboembolic events ...

Heat Therapy: Targeting Health, Disease, and Disability

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
The predominance of evidence suggests heat therapy has an impact on all aspects of health and performance, but the drivers of that improvement, the extent to which they are improved, and the specific populations in which improvements manifest are far from completely understood.

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation accompanying mitral stenosis: the concept for a trial. [PDF]

, 2015
Patients at thromboembolic risk with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) can now be managed either with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or with a fixed dose of a non-VKA oral anticoagulant (NOAC), while patients with valvular AF have been restricted to ...

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 ...

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

A Comprehensive Review of Percutaneous and Surgical Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide, and is associated with a significant risk of thromboembolic events. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a promising alternative for patients with contraindications or ...
