Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2015
Stroke or systemic embolism is a devastating consequence of atrial fibrillation (AF) due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). AF causes thrombus formation in the LAA due to both the loss of atrial systole and the unique anatomic features of the LAA. Oral anticoagulation is a well established and effective therapy to reduce the risk

Surgical ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion or both? Nationwide registry analysis of cardiac surgery patients with underlying atrial fibrillation.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate in-hospital outcomes and long-term survival of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with preoperative atrial fibrillation.

Left atrial appendage morphology predicts the formation of left atrial appendage thrombus

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Nonchicken wing left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology is associated with higher risk for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) than chicken wing (CW) morphology.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005
Aneurysms 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 ...

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.

LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION FOLLOWING LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE ISOLATION

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
LAA isolation is an important adjunctive ablation strategy in patients with non-paroxysmal AF. Given the high prevalence of poor contractile function of the LAA, the risk of stroke in this cohort is high and OAC is recommended despite maintenance of SR.

Efficacy and safety of left atrial appendage electrical isolation during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: an updated meta-analysis.

Europace, 2020
AIMS Left atrial appendage electrical isolation (LAAEI) has been shown to improve freedom from all-atrial arrhythmia recurrence in patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).

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.

Republished: Left atrial appendage occlusion

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2015
ABSTRACTLeft 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
