Procedurer Two things determine whether the procedure is safe: that synchronisation really is switched on when the shock is delivered, and that the thromboembolic risk…

…By excluding the sex parameter, the CHA₂DS₂ VA score addresses concerns about overestimating stroke risk in women based solely on gender. This aims to prevent…

…The principal determinant of adverse outcome is aneurysm size. Larger aneurysms and more rapid expansion are associated with increasing likelihood of symptoms, complications and rupture…
