Inverted left atrial appendage

Case Reports, 2008
A 59-year-old woman with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy and severe mitral regurgitation was referred for mitral valve repair. Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) performed before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) showed normal mitral leaflets with increased mitral valve tenting area and posterior mitral leaflet tethering; no masses ...

Left atrial appendage size is a marker of atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinical Cardiology, 2021
There are no consistently confirmed predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. Therefore, we aimed to study whether left atrial appendage volume (LAAV) and function influence the long‐term recurrence of AF after catheter ...

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

Demonstration of Patient-Specific Simulations to Assess Left Atrial Appendage Thrombogenesis Risk

bioRxiv, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: New perspectives for the method [PDF]

, 2017
Ischemic stroke is a common complication of atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, oral anticoagulant drugs are the most commonly used method of stroke prevention. Left atrial appendage occlusion is thought to be the main source of thrombi in patients with
