The long‐term efficacy and safety of combining ablation and left atrial appendage closure: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesCardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Combined ablation and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an alternative for atrial fibrillation patients with a high risk of stroke. However, the long‐term outcomes of this combined procedure remain elusive.

Successful cryoablation of an incessant atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage

open access: yesIndian 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.

Improved outcomes in CABG patients with atrial fibrillation associated with surgical left atrial appendage exclusion

open access: yesJournal of cardiac surgery, 2021
We sought to determine the impact of left atrial appendage clip exclusion (LAACE) on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes among patients with pre‐existing atrial fibrillation (AF).

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016
Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are extremely rare. This condition is usually diagnosed incidentally or after the occurrence of thrombotic events or cardiac tachyarrhythmias in the second to fourth decades of life. It can predispose to hazardous adverse events, including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and systemic thromboembolism ...

Surgical clip closure of the left atrial appendage

open access: yesCardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common atrial arrhythmia, but it is not a benign disease. AF is an important risk factor for thromboembolic events, causing significant morbidity and mortality.

Therapeutic Dilemma of Natural Watchman: Congenital Absence of the Left Atrial Appendage

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is usually an incidental finding. We present a rare case of congenital absence of the left atrial appendage in a 77-year-old female patient with atrial ...

Enhanced Immunomodulation in Inflammatory Environments Favors Human Cardiac Mesenchymal Stromal-Like Cells for Allogeneic Cell Therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Rising numbers of patients with cardiovascular diseases and limited availability of donor hearts require new and improved therapy strategies. Human atrial appendage-derived cells (hAACs) are promising candidates for an allogeneic cell-based treatment. In

Modification of the left atrial appendage and its role in stroke risk reduction with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders encountered by clinicians in clinical practice. Patients with atrial fibrillation are at risk of cerebrovascular and systemic embolic events, which may be attenuated by commencement ...
