Left atrial appendage occlusion [PDF]

open access: yesEuroIntervention, 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 ...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2020
Atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a therapeutic option for thromboembolic prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who have contraindications to oral anticoagulation (OAC) or high risk of bleeding. Traditionally, thrombus in the LAA has been considered a contraindication for LAA occlusion.

Left atrial appendage occlusion

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2023
Prevention of stroke represents a goal of primary importance in health systems due to its associated morbidity and mortality. As several patient groups with increased stroke rates have been identified, multiple approaches have been developed and implemented: oral anticoagulation (OAC) for patients with atrial fibrillation, surgical and percutaneous ...

Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages

Human Pathology, 1979
Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly almost universally associated with severe conotruncal abnormalities, especially transposition of the aorta. This presentation describes a case of right sided juxtaposition of the atrial appendages without concomitant conotruncal malformations.

Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2012
Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages is a rare congenital cardiac malformation, with the appendages both located on the left or right side of the great arteries. It is usually associated with cyanotic congenital heart disease. The aim of this report is to illustrate the anatomical features of normal and juxtaposed atrial appendages, with a review of ...

Left atrial appendage myxoma masquerading as left atrial appendage thrombus

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013
Myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart. They can arise from any heart chamber, but have rarely been described as originating from the left atrial appendage. We describe a case of left atrial appendage myxoma mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus, and presenting with microembolization to the coronaries.
