Pulmonary vein ostium geometry: analysis by magnetic resonance angiography.
BACKGROUND During a catheter ablation procedure for selective electrical isolation of pulmonary vein (PV) ostia, the size of these ostia is usually estimated using fluoroscopic angiography. This measurement may be misleading, however, because only the projected supero/inferior ostium diameters can be measured. In this study, we analyzed 3-dimensional magnetic resonance angiographic (MRA) images...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Closure for Stroke Prevention in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with a substantial risk of thromboembolic stroke. Although long-term treatment with warfarin or the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants can reduce this risk, such therapy is underutilized, and safe and consistent long-term treatment can be challenging. Transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is an emerging alternative to long-term oral anticoagulat...
متن کاملNovel stroke risk reduction in atrial fibrillation: left atrial appendage occlusion with a focus on the Watchman closure device
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains an important clinical problem with severe complications such as stroke, which especially harms those with risk factors as calculated by the CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc. Until now, no therapy has proven 100% effective against AF. Since the left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most prominent nonvalvular AF-related thromboembolic source and (novel) oral anticoagulant [(N)...
متن کاملRole of apoptosis in reperfusion injury.
Many changes occur during reperfusion of the myocardium after ischemic damage. Necrosis and apoptosis appear to be ongoing during ischemia, while apoptosis is boosted by the reperfusion event. In the past 10 years, distinct intracellular pathways important for hypertrophy, apoptosis, cardiac failure, ischemic preconditioning and reperfusion damage have been recognized. The eventual response of ...
متن کاملPercutaneous left atrial appendage closure devices: safety, efficacy, and clinical utility
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia treated in the clinical practice. One of the major complications of AF is a thromboembolic cerebral ischemic event. Up to 20% of all strokes are caused by AF. Thromboembolic cerebral ischemic event in patients with AF occurs due to atrial thrombi, mainly from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Prevention of clot formation with antiplatelet ag...
