Effective stroke prevention with oral anticoagulation (OAC) is the cornerstone of the
management of patients with atrial fibrillation. The use of OAC reduces the risk of stroke and …

Stroke prevention and symptom control are two integral pillars in atrial fibrillation (AF)
management. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is effective at reducing …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia. The
estimated prevalence in the general population is 1–2% and increases with age. 1–8 …

Objectives: This study was designed for conducting a comparative evaluation of the healing
response after Watchman (WM)(Boston Scientific, Plymouth, Minnesota) and Amplatzer …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia. The
estimated prevalence in the general population is 1-2% and increases with age. 1-8 Patients …

Objectives We sought to provide a systematic review of reported cases of LAA closure
device embolization by focusing on the two most commonly implanted devices: the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in
clinical practice. One of its most devastating complications is the development of …

Background Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) may benefit from undergoing concomitant
interventions of left atrial catheter ablation and device occlusion of the left atrial appendage …

Aims Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the source of thrombi in up to 90% of patients with non-
valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for …

Aims Pulmonary veins (PVs) isolation is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and
can be achieved either by conventional radiofrequency ablation or by cryoenergy. Left atrial …
