Background The comparison between sedation and general anesthesia (GA) in terms of all-
cause mortality remains a subject of ongoing debate. The primary objective of our study was …

Introduction Most patients undergoing a left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure
are admitted for overnight observation. A same‐day discharge strategy offers the opportunity …

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as an alternative to transesophageal
echo (TEE) to guide left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). We established a protocol to …

Background Same‐day discharge (SDD) following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is
increasingly common but predictors of successful SDD and 1‐year clinical outcomes have …

Background Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) for stroke prevention is validated in
patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) contraindicated to oral anticoagulation …

The complexity of cardiac electrophysiology procedures has increased significantly over the
past three decades. Anesthesia requirements of these procedures can be different based on …

Aims: Compare trends of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) versus GA for percutaneous
transcatheter LAAC with endocardial implant and assess for independent variables …

Introduction Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) can be performed using diverse
anesthetic approaches ranging from moderate sedation (MS) to general anesthesia (GA) …

Background and Objectives: Percutaneous left-atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is an
important therapeutic option for preventing cardioembolic stroke in patients with non …
