Multimodality imaging in preoperative assessment of left atrial appendage transcatheter occlusion with the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug.
AIMS Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) emerged as a valid alternative in patients with a formal contraindication to oral anticoagulant therapy. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), and conventional cardiac angiography (CCA) are used to evaluate LAA dia...
متن کاملTwelve-month follow-up of left atrial appendage occlusion with Amplatzer Amulet.
BACKGROUND The Amplatzer Amulet (St. Jude Medical, Minneapolis, MN, USA) is a second gen-eration Amplatzer device for left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion (LAAO) for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation. This research sought to assess the clinical performance of the Amplatzer Amulet device and in follow up for 12 months. METHODS In this single-center registry patients with...
متن کاملLeft atrial appendage closure with the Amplatzer cardiac plug in patients with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OA) for prevention of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). OBJECTIVE To describe the immediate results and short- to medium-term clinical follow-up (FU) of patients that underwent LAAC with Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) implantation in a...
متن کاملPercutaneous occlusion of left atrial appendage with the Amplatzer Cardiac PlugTM in atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is associated with embolic strokes that often result in death or disability. Effective in reducing these events, anticoagulation has several limitations and has been widely underutilized. Over 90% of thrombi identified in patients with atrial fibrillation without valvular disease originate in the left atrial appendage, whose occlusion is investigated as an alterna...
متن کاملSuccessful Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion with the New Generation Amulet® Device after Late-Occurring Embolization of an Amplatzer® Cardiac Plug in a Patient with Repetitive Strokes
The Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) is one of the most commonly used devices for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure in order to prevent a stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and contraindication for long-term oral anticoagulation therapy. We have previously described a patient who had experienced an embolization of the ACP device about 12 months after implantation and the dev...
