Information provided by Holy Spirit Health System. Physicians at The Ortenzio Heart Center at Holy Spirit performed Pennsylvanias first minimally invasive procedure using the Lariat Suture Delivery Device to significantly reduce the risk of stroke in a patient suffering from atrial fibrillation. The Ortenzio Heart Center at Holy Spirit is the currently the only location in Pennsylvania where this procedure has been performed and one of just a few locations on the entire East Coast. Drs.David Man,Safwat Gassis and Rajesh Dave, of Capital Cardiovascular Associates, performed this specialized procedure which essentially seals off the left atrial appendagea tissue sac located in the upper portion of the heartfrom the rest of the heart. Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular rhythm in the top chambers of the heart that can cause blood to pool and form clots in the atrial appendage," says Stacey Solomon, RN-BC, Atrial Fibrillation Program Coordinator. This minimally invasive procedure will reducethe risk of stroke in our patients, says Safwat Gassis, MD, Medical Director of the Holy Spirit Atrial Fibrillation Center. Its estimated that 90% of blood clots that cause stroke in patients with A-fib come from the left atrial appendage. Normally, physicians will put patients on blood … Continue reading
