Po-01-083 percutaneous closure of peri-device leak following left atrial appendage closure using an amplatzer duct occluder
Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure has been recognised as an alternative therapy for stroke prevention in selected patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who have difficulties with long-term oral anticoagulation. Peri-device leaks (PDLs) are frequently diagnosed after LAA closure procedures, regardless of closure methods. PDL> 5mm is related with further embolic events. Nevertheless, management of severe PDL has been a challenging concern which requires multiple teams involved.

Left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: A current overview
J Cardiol. 2022 Nov 15:S0914-5087(22)00277-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.11.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and its prevalence increases with age. AF causes palpitations, heart failure, and cardiogenic embolism. Of them, the most critical and fatal complication is a cardio-embolic event. Oral anticoagulation plays a central role in reducing stroke risk in AF patients. Recently, when oral anticoagulation is considered in patients with non-valvular AF who are eligible for direct oral coagulations, they are preferred to vitamin K antagoni...

Different Scores Predict the Value of Hemorrhagic Transformation after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: The lower the ASPECTS score and the higher the DRAGON, SEDAN, and HAT scores, the higher the incidence of HT in AIS patients. The patient's age, atrial fibrillation, baseline NIHSS score, early signs of infarction on admission with head CT, time from onset to thrombolytic therapy, and thrombolytic drugs are all independent factors affecting HT in AIS patients. The scores of ASPECTS, DRAGON, SEDAN and HAT have certain value in predicting HT after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients, and the predicted value of ASPECTS score is the best.PMID:34721622 | PMC:PMC8553431 | DOI:10.1155/2021/2468052

Analysis of Influencing Factors of Compliance with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Correlation with the Severity of Ischemic Stroke
In this study, a total of 156 patients with NVAF who received NOAC anticoagulation therapy in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The results showed that education background, place of residence, number of complications, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and HAS-BLED score were independent influencing factors for NOACS compliance of NVAF patients. Also, the Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation (r = -0.465, P < 0.001) between NOAC compliance and severity of ischemic stroke in patients with NVAF. Therefore, clinical supervision and management of patients wit...

Preserved Left Atrial Function Following Left Atrial Appendage Closure for Stroke Prevention.
CONCLUSION: LA function is crucial for cardiovascular function and recurrence of AF. Our study provides evidence that LA appendage closure preserves LA function, determined by strain imaging in patients with paroxysmal AF and sinus rhythm during echocardiography.
