When choosing how to reduce the risk of stroke, a clinician uses tools to estimate the risk of stroke and serious bleeding ...
A ventricular assist device (VAD) helps pump blood from your heart to the rest of your body. It’s used when your heart is not able to pump enough blood on its own. The device consists of a pump, tubes ...
The WATCHMAN device is an LAA-occlusion device. It blocks the LAA (a small area within the left atrium) and prevents clots that form there from breaking off to the brain and causing a stroke.
complete occlusion resulted in a marked increase in pressure within the ventricular system[1]. This finding highlights the importance of understanding how different degrees of obstruction impact ...
We used a servo-null pressure system to measure ventricular peak systolic pressure (PSP), end diastolic pressure (EDP) and dP/dt at base line and during brief conotruncal occlusion. We also ...
Note the position of atrial and ventricular leads through baffle to left atrium and left ventricle, and device occlusion of residual baffle leak.
