Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundTranscatheter left atrial appendage closure is an alternative therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients. These procedures are currently guided with transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy in most centers.

Heterotaxy and isomerism of the atrial appendages☆ [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011 Several of the assertions made by Serraf and colleagues [1], when describing heterotaxy syndrome, should be questioned. The syndrome is, indeed, a disorder that involves ‘abnormal lateralization of the abdominal viscera, thoracic organs and cardiac atria’; but this definition would include patients having so-called ‘situs inversus’. In support of their

Left Atrial Appendage Stenosis
Echocardiography, 2001 We describe an unusual case with an anatomic narrowing at the opening of the left atrial appendage demonstrated by two‐dimensional color Doppler and continuous‐wave Doppler transesophageal echocardiography.

Left atrial appendage aneurysm [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2019 Abstract Left atrial appendage aneurysm is an infrequent abnormality presenting as atrial tachyarrhythmias, progressive dyspnoea, atypical chest pain and systemic thromboembolism. Surgical excision is considered to prevent fatal complications, even in asymptomatic cases. We describe the case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of acute

Epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021 The presence of left atrial thrombus is a contraindication to cardioversion or catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, due to the increased risk of systemic thromboembolism.

Left atrial appendage occlusion in everyday clinical practice:Closing the gap [PDF]
, 2023 Despite the deeply rooted conviction that oral anticoagulation therapy is the primary strategy to prevent ischemic strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation, non-adherence to oral anticoagulation therapy is common.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices
, 2014 Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk for thromboembolic stroke five-fold. The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been shown to be the main source of thrombus formation in the majority of strokes associated with AF.
