Filter by:This study aims to investigate (1) the de novo cerebral microembolization in patients who undergo transcatheter closure of PFO or ASD, and (2) evaluate the relationship between de novo cerebral microembolization and in situ thrombus within PFO.
In high thrombus burden subgroup of Acute STEMI, manual aspiration thrombectomy was associated with reduced cardiovascular death but increased stroke or transient ischemic attack. The role of aspiration thrombectomy is still a matter of active debate. Manual aspiration suffers from decreasing aspiration force as the syringe fills with fluid and requires the operator to exchange syringes during the procedure to maintain suction.
This study is designed to quantify the ventricular stasis in patients with different forms of cardiomyopathy and at risk of stroke (ischemic, non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) by post-processing of 2D color Doppler echocardiography and phase contrast-magnetic resonance images in order to establish the relationship between quantitative variables of intraventricular stasis and the prevalence of silent embolic events and/or intraventricular mural thrombosis.
18F-GP1 binds with high affinity to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors on activated platelets. 18F-GP1 PET-CT has recently demonstrated favourable safety, pharmacokinetic, biodistribution and diagnostic performance for the in vivo identification of venous and arterial thrombemboli.
The investigators aim to test the thrombotic potential of various heart chambers including left atrium, left atrial appendage, right atrium and peripheral veins. Blood samples will be taken from the different chambers in 50 patients admitted for standard pulmonary vein ablation and compared to patients without atrial fibrillation admitted for left sided supra ventricular tachycardia or mitral clip. Thrombin generation parameters will be assessed by the calibrated automated thrombogram.
