Journal ArticleDOI
Stiff left atrial syndrome after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: Clinical characterization, prevalence, and predictors
Douglas N. Gibson,Luigi Di Biase,Luigi Di Biase,Prasant Mohanty,Jigar Patel,Rong Bai,Javier Sanchez,J. David Burkhardt,J. Thomas Heywood,Allen Johnson,David Rubenson,Rodney Horton,G. Joseph Gallinghouse,Salwa Beheiry,Guy P. Curtis,David N. Cohen,Mark Y. Lee,Michael R. Smith,Devi Gopinath,William R. Lewis,Andrea Natale +20 more
TL;DR: After radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (RFCAF), PH with LA diastolic dysfunction or the so-called stiff LA syndrome is a rare but potentially significant complication of AF ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is pocket mobile echocardiography the next-generation stethoscope? A cross-sectional comparison of rapidly acquired images with standard transthoracic echocardiography.
Max Liebo,Rachel L. Israel,Elizabeth O. Lillie,Michael R. Smith,David S. Rubenson,Eric J. Topol +5 more
TL;DR: The rapid acquisition of images by skilled ultrasonographers who use PME yields accurate assessments of ejection fraction and some but not all cardiac structures in many patients, and no formal estimate of accuracy is conducted given the small convenience sample of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral outperforms ejection fraction and Doppler-derived cardiac output for predicting outcomes in a select advanced heart failure cohort
Christina Tan,David Rubenson,Ajay Srivastava,Rajeev Mohan,Michael R. Smith,Kristen Billick,Samuel Bardarian,J. Thomas Heywood +7 more
TL;DR: Extremely low LVOT VTI strongly predicts adverse outcomes and identifies patients who may benefit most from advanced heart failure therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous management of late leak after lariat transcatheter ligation of the left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke.
TL;DR: Three cases of late leak with reconstitution of the LAA after initially successful Lariat closure are reported, and a simple percutaneous technique for leak closure is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of on-line three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous atrial septal defect closure.
TL;DR: This work presents several cases of percutaneous ASD closure guided by on‐line 3D TEE imaging that highlight the potential advantages of this new imaging technology.
