Intraoperative echocardiographic contrast opacifies the left atrial appendage and assists in surgical exclusion
We present a man who did not tolerate anticoagulant and failed percutaneous occlusion. Intraoperative echocardiographic contrast was used to assist surgical exclusion. Follow-up showed a persistent occlusion.PMID:35075025 | PMC:PMC8865348 | DOI:10.4103/aca.ACA_192_20

Prediction, prevention and management of new onset peri-operative atrial fibrillation and flutter in patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery: a narrative review
Minerva Anestesiol. 2022 Apr 26. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.21.16034-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeri-operative atrial fibrillation and flutter (POAF) is recognized as a common complication of non-cardiac thoracic surgery. It is associated with hemodynamic instability, prolonged hospital stay, a risk of stroke and increased risk of mortality. The potential pathogenesis for POAF after non-cardiac thoracic surgery is multifactorial and not fully understood yet. Evaluation of risk factors and prediction of POAF can be beneficial for prevention and management of POAF in patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery. In t...

Po-639-03 3d mapping facilitated, intra-cardiac echocardiography (ice) guided left atrial appendage occlusion (laao) is feasible and safe, providing similar efficacy with less personnel than transesophageal echocardiography (tee) guided procedures
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) provides an alternative for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot be safely anticoagulated long-term. WATCHMAN FLX placement was described, and is traditionally performed, with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance under general anesthesia (GA). The implanting physician, echocardiography team, and anesthesia team must all be present, complicating coordination and scheduling. The use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with 3D mapping guidance in place of TEE for LAAO procedures can eliminate the need for additional personnel.

Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: The Search Continues
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has an incredibly large burden on the American health system with approximately 454,000 annual hospital admissions as the primary diagnosis.1 Unfortunately, AF is not a benign entity, with a reported underlying primary cause of death in 26,535 people in 2019 according to the CDC.2 AF is the cause of 1 in 7 strokes,3 and increases the risk of ischemic stroke five-fold.4 These statistics are alarming when it is considered that the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) has been reported to be as high as 65% after cardiac surgery.

Can intracardiac echocardiography completely replace transesophageal echocardiography to guide left atrial appendage closure? —The comparisons of intracardiac echocardiography with transesophageal echocardiography
AbstractLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an effective means of preventing ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the primary imaging technique to guide LAAC. Its shortcomings, namely the use of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, inevitably increase procedural risks. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), a novel imaging modality for guiding LAAC, has proven more advantageous over TEE due to use of local anesthesia, shortened procedural time, and reduced radiation exposure. This review highlights the differences between ICE and TEE guided LAA...

E-030 Feasibility and safety of mechanical thrombectomy for sole primary angular artery M3 and M4 MCA occlusions
ConclusionAngular artery occlusions often present with disabling symptoms, commonly including speech deficits and limb paresis. Our limited data suggests that mechanical thrombectomy of the angular artery is feasible and safe. As with thrombectomy in other vascular territories, and amongst other factors, patient outcome is influenced by grade of reperfusion.Disclosures A. Kuhn: None. J. Singh: None. F. Massari: None. A.

Anesthetic management using remimazolam in a patient with atrial flutter: a case report
Am J Transl Res. 2022 Aug 15;14(8):5754-5759. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTRemimazolam is a new intravenously administered ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine used in anesthesia or sedation. Remimazolam offers several advantages over other short-acting sedatives, including an organ-independent metabolism and rapid and predictable onset and recovery. Furthermore, remimazolam shows less cardiovascular-inhibitory effects than other anesthetics. Atrial flutter is a form of cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with serious health-related outcomes and a substantial economic burden. Acute onset of atrial flutter can cause cardiac dysf...
