Abstract

As societies around the world age and lifespans increase, we are challenged by the increasing incidence of cardioembolic stroke and the associated human and resource related impact on society. This has led to the development of trans-vascular procedures to address disease states in this fragile patient cohort in whom surgery is frequently contraindicated based on comorbidities. Atrial Fibrillation, the leading cause of cardioembolic disease, valvular sources, and cardiac chamber sources with typical end vessel distribution will be discussed. Pre-procedure imaging, identifiable sources of potential embolic complications, and intra-procedure prophylaxis will be presented.
