Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Heart Failure Clinics, 2014 Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is being increasingly used as a treatment strategy to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have contraindications to anticoagulants. Several approaches and devices have been developed in the last few years, each with their own unique set of advantages and disadvantages.

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 ...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: A View From the UK [PDF]
, 2020 AF is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events, which is usually managed with oral anticoagulation therapy. However, despite a broad range of anticoagulant options and improved uptake in anticoagulation over the past decade, there are ...

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
