Pulmonary Artery Injury Following Endocardial Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: The Known and Unknown.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is used as an alternative stroke prevention method for patients who cannot take blood thinners, but pulmonary artery injury (PAI) is a rare and serious complication associated with it.
- A review of previous PAI cases and data from the FDA's MAUDE database identified 36 cases, predominantly involving older patients, and highlighted that PAI often presents soon after the procedure, with a significant percentage requiring surgery.
- The study emphasizes the need for heightened awareness of PAI symptoms post-LAAC, especially concerning rapid fluid accumulation around the heart, even without clear predictive signs from imaging or clinical details.
Feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel external compression vascular closure device: The LockeT® study.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol
October 2024
Introduction: Hemostasis following large-bore femoral vein access remains a challenge. Manual compression has been the standard of care but requires bedside staff, prolonged bed rest, and longer length of stay. The LockeT is an external compression device that attempts to address these issues while achieving venous hemostasis.

- - The study investigates the potential link between adenoidectomy (a surgical procedure to remove adenoid tissue) and the risk of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) among children, in the context of the role of gut-associated lymphoid tissue in immune modulation.
- - A pooled meta-analysis was conducted between multiple observational studies, and results showed a significant association between appendicectomy and CD, while there was a notable association between tonsillectomy and CD as well, but no significant link to UC from appendicectomy.
- - The findings suggest that while removing adenoid or tonsil tissue may be linked to an increased risk of CD
