Symptomatic giant left atrial aneurysm in a child : a rare entity [PDF]

, 2010
Isolated left atrial aneurysms are rare entities in clinical practice. Usually the condition is diagnosed in the second to fourth decades of life. The presence of such lesions in the pediatric age group is scantily described.

Variability of the Left Atrial Appendage in Human Hearts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of thrombus formation. It is commonly responsible for cerebral stroke whereas less frequently for pulmonary embolism.

History of Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion with AMPLATZER Devices. [PDF]

, 2018
AMPLATZER devices preceded WATCHMAN occluder in 2002 for catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion. The AMPLATZER technique facilitates simultaneous closure of atrial shunts using two devices through one gear.

Displacement of occluder after left atrial appendage closure: A case report

Clinical Case Reports
Key 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 Medicine
Background. 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.

Left atrial appendage closure with the Amplatzer cardiac plug in patients with atrial fibrillation

, 2012
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OA) for prevention of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)

The effect of the pericardial patching exclusion technique for left atrial appendage closure on postoperative reopening rate

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the primary source of cardiogenic embolism in atrial fibrillation patients. Traditional LAA closure methods have shown suboptimal clinical outcomes.
