No evidence for cross-protection of the HPV-16/18 vaccine against HPV-6/11 positivity in female STI clinic visitors Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Left atrial appendage occlusion with the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug could improve survival and prevent thrombo-embolic and major bleeding events in atrial fibrillation patients with increased bleeding risk Vrije Universiteit Brussel

METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with sufficient follow-up data (n = 125) who underwent LAAO with the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) were selected ...
