Article Abstract
An 82-year-old man who had undergone Watchman FLX (Boston Scientific) device implantation presented with dyspnea. Multimodality evaluation demonstrated a small fistula from the proximal circumflex artery to the left atrial appendage. Anatomically, the left circumflex artery is close to the atrial appendage; therefore, it is plausible that fistula formation could be a late complication of implantation of the device.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs Anticoagulants in Dialysis With Atrial Fibrillation.

Importance: Patients with kidney failure (KF) receiving long-term dialysis have increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with KF and AF have increased risk of stroke, death, and bleeding compared with age-matched cohorts. In KF, the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) increases hemorrhage risk, offsetting potential benefits and making left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) a potentially promising solution for risk reduction in AF.

Background: Residual leaks are common after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO).
Objectives: The authors aimed to systematically evaluate the prognostic implications of residual left atrial appendage (LAA) patency and peridevice leaks (PDLs) detected by cardiac computed tomography (CT) following LAAO.
Methods: The authors used traditional meta-analytical methods and a Bayesian framework to assess the probability of increased risks associated with these residual leaks.

Purpose: Compared with retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan, to investigate the clinical application value of dual-source CT large-spiral arterial late scan in the imaging evaluation of left atrial appendage (LAA).
Patients And Methods: A total of 108 patients requiring LAA CT angiography (CTA) due to atrial fibrillation (AF) were selected from September 2024 to December 2024, including 52 patients in group A (Flash large-spiral arterial late scan) and 56 patients in group B (retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan). All patients underwent double-phase scan.
