Association of Body Mass Index with Echocardiographic Parameters and Incidence of Left Atrial Thrombus or Spontaneous Echo Contrast in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Echocardiography and Cardiology, The First People's Hospital of Changzhou, 213003 Changzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: This article focuses on the effect of body mass index (BMI) on cardiac structure and function in cases with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Only a few articles have investigated the relationship between BMI and the incidence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) or spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) in cases with NVAF.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study was conducted at The First People's Hospital of Changzhou.
Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Lead Perforation Complicated by Left Ventricular Thrombus.
JACC Case Rep

Department of Cardiology, Northern Beaches Hospital, Frenchs Forest, Australia.
A 72-year-old woman underwent left bundle branch area pacing, and subsequent transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated potential septal lead perforation. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed an intracardiac mass, which resolved with anticoagulation. This case highlights left ventricular thrombus as a potential complication of septal lead perforation.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Heart Center, Women and Children's Hospital, Qingdao University, 6 Tongfu Road, Qingdao, 266034, Shandong, China.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of purse-string sutures (PSS) compared with manual compression for access hemostasis in children with atrial septal defects (ASDs) after large-caliber venous delivery sheaths removal.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective clinical data review of 271 children with ASDs who underwent transcatheter device closure through large-caliber venous delivery sheaths (≥ 8 Fr) at our institution from January 2018 to January 2023. The PSS group (n = 144) was compared to the control group (n = 127), which underwent manual compression for femoral venous hemostasis after sheath removal, focusing on hemostatic time, limb braking time, bed rest time, hospital stay, and vascular access complications.
WATCHMAN versus LACbes® device for percutaneous left atrial appendage closure: a single-center, propensity-matched study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University, No. 168 Changhai Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, 200433, China.
Background: Different left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) devices have been introduced into the clinical setting. A new dual-seal mechanism LACbes® occluder with isogenous barbs for LAAC has been designed to facilitate easier delivery and improve safety. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the WATCHMAN with those of the LACbes® device for LAAC.
