Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure reduced the risk for recurrent ischemic stroke in most young and middle-aged adults with cryptogenic stroke but increased the risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a ...
Prophylactic VA-ECMO for TAVI Using Self-Expandable Valves in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock and a Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Below 30% Receive the the latest news, research, and ...
The population of patients undergoing patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in the US doesn’t match those of the clinical trials that formed the basis of the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of ...
New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO, a small hole in the heart) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing ...
Whether closure of a patent foramen ovale reduces the risk of recurrence of ischemic stroke in patients who have had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke is unknown. In a multicenter, randomized, open-label ...
The study enrolled a group of 22 patients with symptomatic drug-refractory paroxysmal or short-time persistent AF and PFO who ...
We postulated that cryoablation can also fuse PFO by injuring the primary and secondary septum." Although AF and PFO are both risk factors for stroke/TIA, it is difficult to determine whether PFO is ...
While other device-based closures have demonstrated notable rates of atrial fibrillation (5.7–6.6%) and device-related adverse events, the NobleStitch™ system's fully suture-mediated approach ...
New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO, a small hole in the heart) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing ...
