Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Current Cardiology Reports, 2010
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.

Giant left atrial appendage

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.

Left atrial appendage occlusion

Heart, 2014
Left 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 ...

Inverted left atrial appendage

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000
An 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.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure after Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine
BACKGROUND Oral anticoagulation is recommended after ablation for atrial fibrillation among patients at high risk for stroke. Left atrial appendage closure is a mechanical alternative to anticoagulation, but data regarding its use after atrial ...

Left atrial appendage mass

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 Stenosis

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1999
Narrowing 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.
