The Left Atrial Appendage Revised
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2017 Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is associated with a 4- to 5-fold strokes increase and may be responsible for 15% to 20% of all strokes in the elderly. In this scenario, the left atrial appendage thrombus would be the associated with 90% of cases.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021 The majority of embolic strokes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are caused by thrombi in the left atrial appendage. It is projected that strokes related to atrial fibrillation will markedly increase in the future unless effective ...

Left atrial appendage occlusion
EuroIntervention, 2017 Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a first-line therapy for stroke prevention in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF). While patients at high risk for bleeding or patients with previous bleeding have the highest relative risk reduction from LAAO, it is the younger patients with a high lifetime bleeding risk who benefit from the ...

A Misleading Left Atrial Appendage
JACC: Case Reports, 2023 Left atrial appendage collapse is a relatively unusual echocardiographic finding. Although in post-cardiac surgery patients it may be an early sign of cardiac tamponade, and pericardiocentesis should be discussed, a conservative approach may be followed in cases secondary to viral infection without confusing it with a left atrial appendage thrombus ...

Left atrial appendage occlusion.
International journal of preventive medicine, 2013 Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a treatment strategy to prevent blood clot formation in atrial appendage. Although, LAA occlusion usually was done by catheter-based techniques, especially percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), it can be done during closed and open mitral valve commissurotomy (CMVC, OMVC) and mitral valve ...
