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.

Antithrombotic Management After Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Circulation. Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
Left atrial appendage closure is an alternative to chronic oral anticoagulation to prevent embolic events related to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. After device implantation, antithrombotic treatment is prescribed to prevent device-related thrombosis ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Management of the left atrial appendage

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Surgical 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.
