Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults and associated with an increased risk of embolic stroke. The main prevention strategy for cerebral events based on use oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has demonstrated non-inferiority to OAT clinical trials stroke non-valvular (NVAF). Patients NVAF may still suffer ischemic strokes despite receiving adequate OAT.The physiopathological substrate remains unclear only few theories can be...
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in high bleeding risk patients suffering fibrillation (AF) and analyze different antithrombotic therapies following intervention.This monocentric included 68 with nonvalvular AF an absolute contraindication OAT or at risk. Follow-up done a clinical visit 3-6-12 months.Successful LAAO achieved 67/68 patients. At discharge, 32/68 were on dual antiplatelet therapy (APT), 34/68 without any single drug,...
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) avoid complications secondary to transvenous leads, but inappropriate shocks (ISs) are frequent. Furthermore, IS data from patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) an S-ICD scarce.We aimed establish the frequency and predictors of in this population.We analyzed clinical electrocardiographic characteristics, automated screening test data, device programming, occurrence adult BrS S-ICD.Thirty-nine were enrolled (69% male, mean age at...
Transradial access for cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention is recommended by international guidelines to reduce vascular complications. Unfortunately, some factors such as female sex, shorter body surface area older age, were found be independent predictors of transradial failure. The balloon-assisted tracking technique a smart trick avoid crossover from radial femoral in case spasm, tortuosity, or stenosis.
A 50-year-old male was admitted to our institution because of an acute pulmonary edema successfully treated with diuretics. His cardiovascular risk factors include smoking habit and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Since the ECG showed a sinus rhythm 78 bpm negative T waves in DI aVL echocardiogram hypokinesia apex mid-distal anterior wall left ventricle mild moderate systolic dysfunction, patient scheduled for elective coronary angiography. The angiography revealed critical stenosis medium...

Coronary imaging is a useful tool to identify wall vessel disease also in the absence of obstructive stenosis.
Aorto-coronary occlusion is a particularly difficult lesion to treat, especially in an emergent setting. To our knowledge, this the first description of use microcatheter not support guidewire, but open aorto-coronary calcific with anterograde approach situation.
