Threading a needle: percutaneous closure of an incompletely ligated left atrial appendage.
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of ischemic stroke by increasing left atrial appendage thrombus formation. Previously surgically ligated atrial appendages can recanalize, which increases stroke risk. Percutaneous ligation of such appendages is technically challenging due to altered morphology but feasible. We present a case of a successful percutaneous closure of a previously incompletely ligated atrial appendage using a WATCHMAN FLX device and discuss our approach to similar cases with challenging anatomy. Thorough pre-procedural imaging for case planning is indispensable and dictates feasibility and procedural success.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
