Archives of pathology & laboratory medicine, 1977 The pathological features of 13 cases with juxtaposition of the atrial appendages in the autopsy files of The Johns Hopkins Hospital were studied. The anomaly occurs most frequently in association with transposition of the great vessels, ventricular septal defect, patent foramen ovale, and obstructive lesions of the tricuspid and pulmonic valves.

Left atrial appendage occlusion.
International journal of preventive medicine, 2013 Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a treatment strategy to prevent blood clot formation in atrial appendage. Although, LAA occlusion usually was done by catheter-based techniques, especially percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), it can be done during closed and open mitral valve commissurotomy (CMVC, OMVC) and mitral valve ...
