Aneurysm of the left atrial appendage [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1979 AbstractA 2‐year old asymptomatic girl is presented in whom the chest x‐ray film led to the discovery of a grossly distorted cardiac shadow. Angiocardiography showed a giant aneurysm originating from the left atrium. At operation an intrapericardial aneurysm of the left atrial appendage, measuring 12 × 4 × 4 cm, was found. It communicated with the left

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021 Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders encountered by clinicians in clinical practice. Patients with atrial fibrillation are at risk of cerebrovascular and systemic embolic events, which may be attenuated by commencement ...

Left atrial appendage fibroelastoma [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2011 A 59-year-old woman suffered sudden left hemiparesis that resolved after several hours. She had a history of hypertension and atrial septal defect repair at the age of 29 but had no history of arrhythmia or other heart disease. Physical examination …

JACC: Case Reports, 2020 Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice with indication for anticoagulation in those patients whose annual risk for thromboembolism is >2%. Left atrial appendage closure is growing as an alternative to anticoagulation.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016 Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are extremely rare. This condition is usually diagnosed incidentally or after the occurrence of thrombotic events or cardiac tachyarrhythmias in the second to fourth decades of life. It can predispose to hazardous adverse events, including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and systemic thromboembolism ...

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 ...

Underdevelopment of Left Atrial Appendage [PDF]
Korean Circulation Journal, 2017 A patient was admitted for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Cardiac computed tomography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed the absence of the left atrial appendage. However, the right atrial appendage looked normal and the level of pro B-natriuretic peptide was within normal limits. Successful catheter ablation was performed without
