Abstract

Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is an alternative therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and contraindications for oral anticoagulation. There are few data available regarding the technical success of percutaneous LAA closure in patients with the previous implantation of an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a patent foramen ovale closure device. This is the description of a case of a successful LAA closure performed with an Amplatzer Amulet occluder device (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) in a patient with a previous history of percutaneous ASD.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
