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

Current Therapeutic Research, 2022 : Background: The presence of left atrial/left atrial appendage thrombosis is associated with a higher risk of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. The optimal antithrombotic strategy is not established to date. Objective: Our aim

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.

Successful cryoablation of an incessant atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2015 The right atrial appendage can be the origin of focal atrial tachycardias. Their ablation can be challenging owing to the complexity of the appendage anatomy.

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report
Clinical Case ReportsKey Clinical Message Atrial fibrillation is closely associated with thrombotic events. In non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, 90% of thrombi are formed by the left atrial appendage.

Factors associated with left atrial appendage thrombus (results of a retrospective analysis)
Journal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University: Series MedicineBackground. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia and, due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage, is associated with a significant increase in the risk of thromboembolic complications, primarily ischemic stroke, transient

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.

The missing left atrial appendage [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2012 A 34 year old man underwent a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) prior to implantation of a biventricular ICD and DC cardioversion, to exclude left atrium and left atrial appendage thrombus. He had a history of repaired tetralogy of Fallot as a child, Stickler syndrome, atrial flutter and was status post recent mitral valve replacement, pulmonary ...
