Left atrial appendage occlusion
EuroIntervention. 2023 Feb 6;18(13):e1038-e1065. doi: 10.4244/EIJ-D-22-00627.ABSTRACTPrevention of stroke represents a goal of primary importance in health systems due to its associated morbidity and mortality. As several patient groups with increased stroke rates have been identified, multiple approaches have been developed and implemented: oral anticoagulation (OAC) for patients with atrial fibrillation, surgical and percutaneous revascularisation in patients with carotid disease, device closure for patients with patent foramen ovale, and now, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) for selected patients with non-valvular...

Amplatzer left atrial appendage occlusion: Single center 10‐year experience
ConclusionLAA closure may be a good alternative to oral anticoagulation. This hypothesis needs to be tested in a randomized clinical trial to ensure that all potential biases of this observational study are accounted for. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transseptal puncture to facilitate device closure of “long‐tunnel” patent foramen ovale
Conclusion Though not without risk, transseptal puncture can be a valuable tool for facilitating device closure of long‐tunnel type PFOs. GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder may be an effective option for facilitating device closure for patients with long‐tunnel type PFO. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PFO closure with only fluoroscopic guidance: 7 years real world single centre experience
Conclusions. In our experience Fluoro‐G PFO closure was performed mainly in cases of simple anatomy, with similar results in terms of safety and efficacy compared to Echo‐G cases. Both fluoroscopy and total procedural times were lower in the Fluo‐G cases. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Flatstent versus the conventional umbrella devices in the percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale
Conclusion: No difference was found in closure or complication rates between the Flatstent and the umbrella devices. With appropriate pre‐assessment of the PFO anatomy, the Flatstent works as a safe and effective method of treating the PFO from within the tunnel, especially in those with long tunnel PFOs. Longer follow up is needed to establish superiority. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Cryptogenic Stroke with a Patent Foramen Ovale:
ABSTRACT More than one third of ischemic strokes have an unidentifiable cause. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) plays a controversial role in this subset of patients. The evidence for and against the hypothesis of paradoxical embolism is reviewed and we discuss the optimal management of a PFO under different circumstances.

Patent foramen ovale: indications for closure and techniques.
Authors: Taramasso M, Nietlispach F, Maisano F, Meier B Abstract Non-surgical closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been possible for 40 years and proved safe in probably a million cases performed worldwide. Nonetheless, indications are still restricted as only a few are supported by randomised data. Paradoxical embolism through a PFO causes stroke, myocardial infarction, and visceral or peripheral ischaemia. The PFO is a likely mediator of migraine, diving or high altitude sickness, dyspnoea, and sleep apnoea problems. As untoward effects of a PFO are rare and spaced widely timewise, large cohorts and long...
