This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with Amplatzer devices in a cohort of 431 high bleeding risk patients. At 6 months, a significant portion of patients had discontinued antithrombotic

Is #SAPT an effective and safe alternative to DAPT following Amplatzer #LAAO ?

431 ptt.; 1.5% DRT on early FU
1-year #stroke 2.2%

Going home after the very 1st annual @EuropeanLAACC gathering in Barcelona🇪🇸, meeting new friends while promoting a collective European effort towards improving safety and facilitating future quality research in #LAAO !
Bonus quiz: Guess my birdseye view 😎

Dive into this #JACCINT State-of-The-Art Review discussing #DRT post #LAAO ! What are the clinical implications, classification and management of DRT? 🧐 bit.ly/3sViEk2

Is #SAPT after Amplatzer #LAAO viable in high-bleeding risk pts?

PhD-fellow Anders Kramer present data on 431 patients PCRonline 🫀 #EuroPCR2023

74 yrs/78% bleeders/23% prior stroke

❗️DRT rate - 1.5%
❗️1-yr #stroke rate - 2.2%
❗️1-yr major bleeding - 5.9%
❗️1-yr CV death - 2.9%

Rising 💫 medical student Lasse Tiroke Department of Cardiology Research AUH presented his prospective study of >4 yrs (mean 5.7) #yesCCT imaging outcomes after #LAAO PCRonline 🫀 #EuroPCR2023

❗️No device deterioration
❗️LAA sealing stable
❗️While PDL persistent over time
❗️No DRT detected

Great work👏🏼👏🏼

Do you use cardiac CT for post LAAO surveillance & encounter uncertain findings on the CT? 👉 Read this very important translational & clinical work by Aarhus group at EHJ CVI European Society of Cardiology

HAT after LAAO: normal healing or device related thrombus? academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging/ad…

Standardization and a common nomenclature for #yesCCT findings following #LAAO is needed for both research and training purposes! We propose a novel algorithm for interpretation of hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) on the #Watchman FLX.

Proud and happy to open this mornings #LAAO poster session @ #TCT2022 with our study on post-procedural SAPT from the 🇩🇰 registries. Great discussion on post-procedural antithrombotics and #yesCCT Kasper Korsholm Jens Erik Nielsen-Kudsk Asger Andersen Department of Cardiology Research AUH

What a tour-de-force of the possibilities and ambition within the CAVE-lab Aarhus Universitet! 💪🏼

Fantastic to be at #EuroPCR again! Had the pleasure to present on #PDL changes from 2- to 12-months following Amplatzer #LAAO as assessed by #yesCCT . The study was simultaneous published in CCIjournal

ICE LAA study presented at #EuroPCR . ICE-guided #LAAO with Boston Scientific #WatcmanFLX demonstrated favorable results in a prospective, multi-center, core lab and CEC adjudicated clinical study.

Organ donation from circulatory dead donors add to the donor pool but organs suffer ischemic damage. Niels Moeslund et al. found superior contractile function in 🐷hearts reanimated in situ with normothermic regional perfusion and high oxygen #Organdonation Transplantation

Excellent presentation by Kasper Korsholm at the Boston Scientific Training village. Cardiac is a patient-friendly and accurate alternative to TEE prior to #LAAO AND during FU! #EuroPCR2022

In animal models 🐖🐑🐁 of cardiovascular diseases ❤️🩸, biventricular #PV loops provide thorough investigation but consider closed chest approach for near-normal physiology. See our approach: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34096927/ JoVE #PE #hemodynamics #research

Proud to be a part of this exciting journey! Continuing to move #LAAO research forward together with this team of experts!
