Dual plating through a two-incision approach following temporary external fixation has been shown to improve complication rates although deep infection rates remain high.The objective was to evaluate early outcomes following a novel technique of percutaneous application of the medial plate superficial to the pes anserinus tendons.

Background: Fractionated atrial potential (FAP) during sinus rhythm (SR) may be a new target for ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the effects of the direction of activation and premature atrial contraction (PAC) on FAP is unknown. Therefore, we examined the impact of anisotropic conduction and PAC on the distribution and areas of FAP.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with severe mitral stenosis and left atrial appendage inactivity have elevated levels of procoagulants and fibrinogen, indicating a hypercoagulable state, similar to those with atrial fibrillation.* -
  • The study involved 35 patients with severe mitral stenosis compared to 35 healthy controls, analyzing their echocardiography results and blood samples for procoagulant levels.* -
  • Results showed significantly higher levels of various procoagulants in patients, suggesting the need for further consideration of oral anticoagulant usage in this group.*
