DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27117
Abstract: We report two cases where left atrial appendage closure (LAA) with Watchman was successfully performed despite presence of definite LAA thrombus. Because there was the risk of thrombus dislodgement, we transiently placed an additional Watchman… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circ.150.suppl_1.4118076
Abstract: Introduction: The occurrence of innominate artery stenosis is less prevalent compared to subclavian artery disease. Small studies suggest up to 8% of individuals initially diagnosed with suspected subclavian steal syndrome may present with innominate artery… read more here.

DOI: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2024-0013
Abstract: Failure to retrieve a distal filter-based embolic protection device (EPD) is a potential complication of carotid artery stenting. This may be caused by trapping of the proximal marker of the EPD within the stent tip… read more here.
