2️⃣CHAMPION-AF LAAC vs anticoagulation in prs w/ AF Published in NEJM




🧵We been using Figure-of-8 sutures for most AF ablation cases. Excellent results for simple/low cost intervention. The HARNESS data makes it harder to justify routine use of vascular closure devices (e.g., Vascade) when added cost is ~$600–900 per case. FO8: Simple. Reproducible. Low cost. #EPeeps #AFablation #ValueBasedCare


Dr. Yoshito Iesaka passed away on January 25.He was an eminent physician whose pioneering work greatly advanced the field of arrhythmia treatment. We respectfully share this news and extend our heartfelt prayers for the repose of his soul.

The study from the OCEAN-LAAC registry shows that the group of patients who had previous ischemic stroke (IS) despite OAC did not differ in CV death but were at higher risk of IS even after LAAC. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCCEP #AFib @MasatoF0728
