ABSTRACT Background Managing non‐functional cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) leads remains controversial. While extraction is standard for infection, it is unclear whether transvenous lead extraction (TLE) or lead abandonment (LA) provides superior outcomes for superfluous leads.

Cardiac dysrhythmias after transcatheter closure of ASD with Amplatzer device
Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has been used as an alternative to open heart surgery. Although transcatheter closure of ASD with the Amplatzer septal occluder is a safe and feasible method in pediatric patients, there is ...

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a non‐pharmacological alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Following the publication of recent CHAMPION‐AF and CLOSURE‐AF trials, an updated synthesis of evidence is warranted to clarify the long‐term ...

Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output
Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.

Percutaneous device closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adult patients with 10-year follow-up
Objectives: We report our 10-year experience with transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in adult using different closure devices. Background: Transcatheter closure of PDA in adults can be challenging because of frequently associated ...

ABSTRACT A 72‐year‐old man developed a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) caused by a liver abscess due to acute cholangitis and choledocholithiasis. He was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with tornado microcoils. Two years later, he developed severe acute cholangitis caused by a biliary stone formed around a coil ...
