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.

Curr Probl Cardiol
January 2025
International arrhythmia center, Fundacion cardioinfatil - La Cardio, Division of Cardiology, Bogota, Colombia. Electronic address:
Introduction: Electrophysiologic (EP) procedures are typically performed via the femoral venous system, but in some patients, the inferior vena cava (IVC) is unavailable. The hepatic vein has emerged as a viable alternative to femoral access, providing an inferior route that accommodates large sheaths required for better catheter manipulation. Although the percutaneous transhepatic approach has been used successfully in the pediatric population, its use in adults is scarce, with a complication rate of approximately 5%.
