Left atrial appendage thrombus formation, potential of resolution and association with prognosis in a large real-world cohort.

Comprehensive data on factors influencing left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation, resolution and impact on survival are limited. In this single-center, retrospective study 7759 (2010-2015) patients with symptomatic ongoing atrial fibrillation (AF) on admission were screened for LAA thrombi. 450 patients had LAA thrombi.

Functional and hemodynamic result with the PASCAL Ace percutaneous mitral valve repair: A single-center experience.

Objectives: The PASCAL device is a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair system (TEER) for treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). The PASCAL Ace as a newer version of the PASCAL device consists of a thinner profile without a spacer. The aim of the study was to examine the functional and hemodynamic outcome after TEER with the PASCAL Ace device in a real-world cohort.
