PO-06-187 PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE DURING CRYOABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION

HeartRhythm

Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used technique for pulmonary vein isolation. Known complications associated with cryoablation include tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, and atrioesophageal fistulas.

Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Conclusions: Concomitant WATCHMAN LAAO and TAVR is noninferior to TAVR with medical therapy in severe aortic stenosis patients with AF.

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. Conclusion Prior CABG may positively affect mid-term TAVR outcomes for aortic stenosis compared with no CAD when adjusted for other comorbidities.
