Device-related thrombus remains a major concern because it may result in recurrent embolic events. To date, there is no consensus on the optimal method of treating device-related-thrombus. PATIEN...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Closure – The WATCHMAN Device
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias seen in clinical cardiology practice. Patients with non-valvular AF have an approximately 5-fold increase in the risk of stroke, with an exponential increase with advancing age. Cardioembolic strokes carry a high mortality risk. Although the potential of warfarin to reduce systemic embolization in AF patients is well established, it...
متن کاملThe WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure device for atrial fibrillation.
