Comparing Effectiveness and Safety of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 48, Issue 11, November 2025.
In this network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing Watchman, Amplatzer Amulet, and/or anticoagulation, we found evidence that Amulet was associated with significantly greater risk of pericardial effusion than Watchman (RR = 2.12). Safety and effectiveness of these devices were otherwise comparatively similar.

Is It an Intrapericardial Mass or a Localized Pericardial Effusion? A Case Report of Tuberculous Pericarditis Evaluated by Multimodal Imaging

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 9, Page 2189-2194, November/December 2025.
Tuberculous pericarditis is a common type of pericarditis, but it is difficult to be diagnosed. The application of combined transesophageal echocardiography, contrast echocardiography, and CT multimodal imaging provides sufficient clinical diagnosis basis and guidance for distinguishing encapsulated pericardial effusion or mass.

Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]

, 2018
Background Penetrating cardiac injuries (PCIs) are highly lethal, and a sternotomy is considered mandatory for suspected PCI. Recent literature suggests pericardial window (PCW) may be sufficient for superficial cardiac injuries to drain hemopericardium

Impact of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Patients With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2979-2989, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) reduces the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long‐term oral anticoagulation. However, outcomes after LAAC in patients requiring chronic immunosuppressive therapy (IMS) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate
