Left atrial appendage function assessment and thrombus identification

IJC Heart & Vasculature, 2017
The diagnosis of thrombus in the left atrium in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and may be inconsistent because of variability in thrombus morphology. In some cases it is challenging and requires unusual approach. New Doppler-derived methods might be helpful to identify such thrombi. We evaluated quantitative differences in mechanical

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Long‐term cardiovascular outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor‐related myocarditis: A large single‐centre analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1237-1245, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are the cornerstone of modern oncology; however, side effects such as ICI‐related myocarditis (irM) can be fatal. Recently, Bonaca proposed criteria for irM; however, it is unknown if they correlate well with cardiovascular (CV) ICI‐related adverse events.

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1113-1118, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Three‐Dimensional Echocardiography of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus [PDF]

Echocardiography, 2001
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in evaluating the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a potential cardiac source of embolus in patients with stroke. We describe two such patients in whom a TEE and subsequently a three‐dimensional (3‐D) reconstruction of the LAA were performed.

Stroke Following Facial Laser Resurfacing Procedure—A Case Report

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the first reported case of embolic stroke with hemorrhagic conversion following a dermatologic energy‐based device procedure, highlighting its mechanism and clinical implications. Methods A detailed case review was conducted, including clinical presentation, imaging, and subsequent diagnostic workup. The patient provided

Left atrial appendage thrombus outside of a “successful” ligation [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2007
A 79-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement surgery, and had ligation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) using an epicardial approach. On a post-operative echocardiographic evaluation, the distal portion of the LAA was excluded, leaving no communication with the left atrium.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Learning Curve of Pentaspline Pulsed‐Field Ablation With Posterior Wall Isolation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pentaspline pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel modality for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior wall isolation (PWI) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the learning curve associated with combined PVI + PWI and the contribution of anatomical factors to acute lesion completeness remain ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to
