Imaging Evaluation for the Detection of Leaflet Thrombosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Publication date: July 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 3 Author(s): Zhen-Gang Zhao, Mo-Yang Wang, Hasan JilaihawiTeaser Subclinical leaflet thrombosis has been increasingly recognized as a common imaging finding after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in recent studies. This finding has raised concerns over TAVR valve durability and debates on optimal postprocedural antithrombotic regime. Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and the associated reduced leaflet motion (RELM) were noted as computed tomography hallmarks of the phenomenon. The coexistence of HALT a...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion, Shared Decision-Making, and Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation Management
Publication date: April 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 2 Author(s): Michael H. Hoskins, Anshul M. Patel, David B. DeLurgioTeaser The epidemic of atrial fibrillation (AF) requires a comprehensive management strategy that uses the full force of available data and technology, including anticoagulation, ablative therapy, and left atrial appendage occlusion. Patient-centered care with an emphasis on shared decision-making is particularly relevant to the authors’ understanding of the complexity of AF and has helped them tailor therapy in this ever-growing patient population.
