متن کاملLeft atrial thrombus after appendage closure using LARIAT.
The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the source of thromboembolism in the vast majority of patients with atrial fibrillation and stroke. As a consequence, a newer paradigm of targeting the LAA has evolved, including the use of several percutaneous techniques, including the LARIAT snare device (SentreHEART). This minimally invasive strategy involves pericardial suture ligation of the LAA base usin...
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 کاملPresence of A Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus After Successful Surgical Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage: A Case Report.
A 64-year-old African American woman presented for defibrillator threshold testing (DFTs) after a recent hospitalization for ventricular fibrillation terminated by her ICD. She had a known history of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, rheumatic mitral valve disease s/p mitral valve replacement and a redo after subsequent endocarditis. In preparation for the DFTs, the patient unde...
متن کاملThe WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure device for atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting an estimated 6 million people in the United States (1). Since AF affects primarily elderly people, its prevalence increases parallel with age. As such, it is expected that 15.9 million Americans will be affected by the year 2050 (2). Ischemic stroke occurs in 5% of non-anticoagulated AF patients each year. Current treatme...
