Left atrial isomerism detected in fetal life

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1996
Left and right atrial isomerism, comprising congenital heart defects with disturbances in normal left-right asymmetry, are phenotypically distinct after birth, although animal models suggest a common embryologic origin. We postulated that the prenatal phenotype may indeed be similar in both syndromes but that differential fetal loss is responsible for ...

VATS thymectomy in left atrial isomerism

BMJ Case Reports
Thymectomy is performed for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) and the removal of thymic lesions. Minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) have now become a standard of care for thymectomies. We present the case of a woman in her early 50s with non-thymomatous MG and left atrial isomerism.

The Outcome of Patients With Right Atrial Isomerism is Poor

Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
Right-atrial isomerism (RAI) is a heterotaxy syndrome with disturbances of left-right axis development resulting in complex heart malformations and anomalies of the thoracic and abdominal organs. To study the outcome of RAI, all data from patients diagnosed with this syndrome at Helsinki University Hospital between January 1976 and December of 2010 ...

Surgical Treatment in Atrial Isomerism

1986
Methods for improving results in patients with atrial isomerism were sought by analysis of an experience in 51 patients (1967–1984; 13 hospital deaths and 11 later deaths). Most patients (34) had left atrial (LA) isomerism.

Syndromes of Right or Left Atrial Isomerism

1992
Although Roberts anointed hearts with aortic atresia and hypoplasia of the left heart as “the worst disease”, there are many patients with complex heart malformations associated with degrees of visceral symmetry, thoracic isomerism, and splenic malformations who can share this dubious distinction [24, 75].

[Atrial isomerism and visceral heterotaxy].

Herz, 2005
Atrial isomerism and visceral heterotaxy describe complex pathoanatomic findings with defects in the determination of lateralization. Differentiation of right and left atrial isomerism was based on the anatomy of the atrial appendages and bronchial tree and often associated with asplenia in right atrial isomerism and polysplenia in left atrial ...

Identification and Analysis of Atrial-Bronchial-Abdominal Disharmony in Patients with Isomeric Atrial Appendages

Pediatric Cardiology
Ideally, the morphology of atrial appendages should solely be used to identify and differentiate patients with isomeric right and left atrial appendages. However, in clinical practice, the segregation is often indirectly based on the arrangement of thoraco-abdominal structures. The correlation between thoraco-abdominal arrangement and atrial appendages,
