On Friday 6 September at 09:00, Anders Dahl Kramer defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Left Atrial Appendage Closure - Diagnosis and Prevention of Device-Related Thrombosis".
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has become an increasingly utilized stroke preventive therapy among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) unsuitable for long-term oral anticoagulation. However, device-related thrombosis (DRT) appears across the surface of 1-5% of implanted devices. This incidence varies greatly across published studies, in part, due to variations in DRT detection and postprocedural antithrombotic strategies. Through three retrospectice studies, a new phd-project from Aarhus University, Health and the Mayo Clinic establishes and evaluates new methods for assessment and prevention of DRT-suspect findings on follow-up imaging.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Kardiologisk Conference Room, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
