During follow-up, there was 1 stroke thought to be non-cardioembolic and 1 pleural effusion; there were no deaths. The authors concluded that these results showed that percutaneous LAAO can be achieved successfully with an acceptable rate of peri-procedural and short-term complications. Moreover,...
During the postoperative period, the patient showed right pleural effusion, sepsis and atrial flutter reverted with electrical cardioversion. The patient had a good outcome; however, 6 years later, a transthoracic echocardiography was suggestive of residual pseudoaneurysm. A transesophageal echocardiogram ...
wood. Such a sound usually indicates pericarditis. The intensity of the rub varies with the phase of the cardiac cycle rather than the respiratory cycle. It may become louder when the patient leans forward. Large accumulation of fluid (pericardial effusion) may result in disappearance of the rub...
