Übersetzung für "Atrial appendage" in Deutsch

Surgical ablation is often combined with an operation on the atrial appendage.

Therefore the positioning accuracy of the device in the atrial appendage can be improved.

The atrial appendage occluder has a proximal end 20 and a distal end 21.

The atrial appendage occluder 50 has no holder at the proximal end.

Stasis, particularly in the left atrial appendage, may lead to thromboembolism.

The atrial appendage is a cauliflower-like structure in the cardiac atrium.

Our new left atrial appendage occluder (LAA) obtained CE registration end of May, 2016.

In addition, the atrial appendage is removed which eliminates the need for a Antocoagulation after surgery.

Depending on the cause of the arrhythmia, a pacemaker is implanted, an operation is performed on the atrial appendage, or an electrophysiological procedure is initiated.

In patients who are not suitable for anticoagulation, recently the option of left atrial appendage closure has become available.

Mid-position views, 90° left: the left ventricle (LV), the left atrium (LA), the left atrial appendage (LAA) and the left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV) can be displayed.

Meanwhile, implantable leads which lead into the heart and are routed, for example, through the right atrium into the atrial appendage or into the apex of the right ventricle and are fixed there either by passive anchorings—known as “tines”—or by being screwed into the cardiac tissue, have become established.

It may prove advantageous to increase thrombogenity for the formation of occlusions, for example occluders for LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) or PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale).

The present invention relates to a self-expandable occlusion device for occluding an atrial appendage, consisting of a network or braid of thin wires, or threads, which is given a suitable design by means of a shaping, reshaping and/or heat treatment process, the occlusion device having a front proximal retention region and a back distal retention region, and the ends of the wires or threads meeting in a holder in the proximal retention region but also meeting in a hub without a holder in a second solution.

Here, the left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation is the frequent site of formation for blood clots, which can induce stroke when carried along with the blood flow.

Further devices, such as of Amplatz PCT/US 2005/010551, according to the PLAATO method (PLAATO=Percutaneus Left Atrial Appendage Transcatheter) and Watchman occluder do not cope with the correct specified positioning.

Customarily, this takes place after the occlusion device 1 initially arranged in the catheter has been placed in the site to be treated, in particular in the atrial appendage of the heart of a patient.

As a direct result hereof, either the distal umbrella or the proximal retention region are held under a permanent tension in the atrial appendage.

As a result, of the one hand flexible and on the other hand force-fit proximity of the elongate spherical region having a relatively large surface area to the internal wall of the atrial appendage, it can further be achieved that the occlusion device in use can so be completely surrounded by endogenous tissue obviously faster compared to in case of the prior art occlusion systems.

By virtue of the fact that in the distal retention region a hub for the bunching or combining of the network can be dispensed with, no component of the occlusion device extends further into the atrial appendage, so the risk of defense reactions of the body or other possible complications is low.
