    Abstract The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) represents an important alternative to traditional ICD therapy. The major limitation of this technology is the inability to provide pacing. Here, we present a case of a patient with complete heart block and a pacemaker who underwent placement of an S-ICD. Special considerations had to be taken with regards to evaluation and implantation of the S-ICD because of the pacemaker. In conclusion, implantation of an S-ICD can be done in patients with pacemaker effectively with appropriate electrocardiographic screening, device testing, and programming.

    Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery has favorable results on cardiac structure and function, but there is minimal research on its utility in the cardiac comorbid population.
    Objectives: To determine if laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is safe in patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS).
    Setting: Community hospital/bariatric center of excellence in Pennsylvania.
    Methods: Retrospective single center review of 18 patients with morbid obesity and clinically significant AS. All SGs were performed between June 2016 and June 2020. Outcomes including hospital length of stay, 30-day readmission, and 30-day mortality in the study population (n = 18) were compared with 100 patients without AS who underwent SG at the same institution during the same time.
    Results: There were no perioperative deaths. Mean hospital stay in the study group was 1.78 days compared with 1.3 days in the noncardiac group (P = .1154). Two of 18 patients (11.1%) required readmission within 30 days, both for clinically significant bleeding, compared with 2 of 100 noncardiac patients (2.0%) (P = .1097). Seventeen of 18 study patients went on to have definitive aortic valve replacement surgery.
    Conclusion: SG appears safe in patients with clinically significant AS. Although the AS group did have a higher rate of complications, these were manageable and did not increase mortality or LOS. Further studies are required to determine if outcomes of definitive aortic valve replacement are improved after bariatric surgery.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered clinical arrhythmia, and stroke prevention remains an integral part of management of AF. Long-term therapy with oral anticoagulants, though effective, has many limitations, and these limitations have encouraged the search for device-based alternatives. In patients with non-valvular AF, approximately 90% of thrombi are thought to arise from the left atrial appendage (LAA). The LAA can be obliterated surgically or percutaneously, and this should reduce the incidence of systemic thromboembolic events in AF, ideally without the need for further anticoagulation. We explore the currently available LAA occlusion devices and the evidence behind these devices. Although additional evidence from randomized trials is required to fully characterize the safety and efficacy of all of these devices, LAA occlusion has the potential to offer an attractive alternative for those at high stroke risk but are under-protected because of contraindications to anticoagulant therapy.

    Abstract Conversion of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm is frequently seen during the 3-day in-hospital loading period required during dofetilide initiation, but it is not known whether pharmacologic conversion (PC) without the need for electrical cardioversion (EC) is a predictor of long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm during continued therapy with dofetilide. We sought to test the hypothesis that PC predicts durable maintenance of sinus rhythm and determine additional predictors of long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm on dofetilide. We retrospectively reviewed all elective inpatient admissions for dofetilide loading from 2003 to 2011 at the University of Virginia. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess predictors of maintenance of sinus rhythm after in-hospital dofetilide loading. In all, 101 patients with a current duration of AF lasting for a median of 1.86 months (interquartile range 0.47 to 6.03) were included in the analysis. Forty-seven patients were in the PC group, whereas 54 patients were in the EC group. Patients in the PC group remained longer in sinus rhythm compared with the patients in the EC group (log-rank p = 0.032). The seventy-fifth percentile for the current episode duration in the PC group was 5.77 months, indicating that even long-standing persistent AF frequently converted pharmacologically. Hypertension and a longer duration of the current AF episode were also predictors of recurrence in the multivariate model. In conclusion, PC during in-hospital dofetilide loading is an important predictor of durable response even in long-standing persistent patients, which has important public health implications for choice of therapy.
