Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a common small vessel disease in the elderly involving
vascular amyloid-β deposition. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is one of the leading causes of …

Background: No study has so far compared Amulet with the new Watchman FLX in terms of
residual left atrial appendage (LAA) patency or clinical outcomes in patients undergoing …

Objectives This study sought to investigate clinical outcomes associated with left atrial
appendage occlusion (LAAO) versus direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with …

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) experiencing ischemic stroke despite oral anticoagulation
(OAC), ie, breakthrough strokes, are not uncommon, and represent an important clinical …

Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can provide invaluable
insight into the interaction of left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology, hemodynamics, and …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common human arrhythmia and it is considered
a marker of an increased risk of embolic stroke. It is known that 99% of AF-related thrombi …

The lack of mechanically effective contraction of the left atrium (LA) during atrial fibrillation
(AF) disturbs blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Thrombosis …

Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can
lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic …

Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common human arrhythmia. In
nonvalvular AF, around 99% of thrombi are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, forming thrombi mostly in the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the relation between LAA morphology, blood patterns …
