Band Occlusion of the Atrial Appendage
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2010A new device has been developed for occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). Previous investigations have been in the canine model. The canine atrial appendage does not vary in size and shape as much as the human. The goal of this study was to investigate band occlusion of right atrial appendages in the pig model, which are more broad based.The ...

Stroke prevention is the primary goal in atrial fibrillation (AF) given its clinical and socioeconomic impact. With AF, the prevalence of thromboembolic stroke continues to rise and there is an urgent need to develop better strategies of stroke prevention.

Herniation of the left atrial appendage
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1965Abstract A case of herniation of the left atrial appendage through a partial defect in the left side of the pericardial sac is presented. The diagnosis was suspected on the basis of the chest roentgenogram and was proved by right and left heart cineangiography. The differential diagnosis is discussed.

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2011
A 30-year-old woman presented with a history of palpitations for 15 years and dyspnoea on exertion for 6 years. Her symptomatic status had worsened from New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2 to NYHA class 3 in the last 1 year. On clinical examination, she had evidence of congestive cardiac failure and rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Inverted left atrial appendage
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000An unexpected left atrial mass was found during postoperative echocardiography in a 17-years old man following aortic valve replacement, suggesting thrombus, vegetation and neoplasm. Reoperation showed that the mass to be an inverted left atrial appendage. Left ventricular venting may cause such inversion.

Echocardiography, 2018
Left atrial (LA) masses are known to be associated with peripheral embolization. Accurate identification of etiology is crucial because treatment strategies may differ. We present the case of a young woman, who was initially diagnosed with a LA thrombus and anticoagulated.

Left atrial appendage occlusion
Heart, 2014Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for stroke and thromboembolism prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a significant advancement in the field of cardiovascular disease. Prevention and avoidance of the devastating consequences of thromboembolic complications from AF continues to be central in the management of these ...

Left Atrial Appendage Stenosis
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1999Narrowing at the mouth of the left atrial appendage has been reported after partial surgical ligation of the appendage. This report describes a patient, without prior cardiac surgery, who had an anatomic narrowing at the opening of the left atrial appendage demonstrated by 2-dimensional, Doppler, and color Doppler echocardiography.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005Aneurysms of the left atrial appendage are exceedingly rare. Patients most commonly present with atrial tachyarrhythmias and thromboembolism. Resection of the aneurysm is usually curative. We present a case report of a 60-year-old female with a long-standing history of atrial arrhythmias found to have a large left atrial appendage aneurysm with ...

Management of the left atrial appendage
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011Surgical and interventional exclusion left atrial appendage (LAA) are becoming important alternatives to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in the setting of atrial fibrillation. Herein we present the different approaches (endocardial vs. epicardial) to LAA occlusion.
