Utilization and procedural adverse outcomes associated with Watchman device implantation

Fouad Khalil et al.

Summary: The FDA approval of the Watchman device has led to its widespread use in the USA. A study was conducted to evaluate the nationwide utilization and adverse outcomes associated with Watchman device implantation in 2016, with findings showing a low overall complication rate of 1.9% and in-hospital mortality rate of 0.29%. The complication rates were lower than those reported in major randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and were similar to the European Watchman registry findings.

Outcomes of MitraClip Placement in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Khalid Sawalha et al.

Summary: Patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent MitraClip repair of MV were at higher risk of developing cardiogenic shock, without significant increase in in-hospital mortality, LOS or total cost. However, this study showed a trend toward higher rates of mortality, requirement of blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and cost of care in cirrhosis patients.
