Incidence and Predictors of Hypoattenuated Thickening and Device‐Related Thrombus at Three Months Postprocedural CT Assessment Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Amplatzer Devices—A Single‐Center Cohort

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a valuable alternative to long‐term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those at high bleeding risk. Hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) and device‐related thrombus (DRT) remain notable postprocedural concerns ...

A giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with a large pinball-like thrombus in a 2 year old

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is very rare. We describe a giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with a pinball-like mobile thrombus in a 2-year-old child with cardioembolic stroke.

Role of 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in the assessment of left atrial function and its relation to the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

open access: yesAl-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal, 2020
Introduction The study aimed to evaluate the role of speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in the assessment of left atrial (LA) function and its relation to the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) compared with the gold standard ...

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Diagnosis and Management of Left Atrium Appendage Thrombosis in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Cardioversion

open access: yesMedicina, 2019
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and thromboembolic complications. A rhythm control strategy with both electrical and pharmacological cardioversion is recommended for patients ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the Left Atrial Appendage to Predict Thrombosis Risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
During Atrial Fibrillation (AF) more than 90% of the left atrial thrombi responsible for thromboembolic events originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a complex small sac protruding from the left atrium (LA). Current available treatments to prevent

Real‐World Edoxaban Concentrations in Older Patients Receiving Reduced‐Dose Regimens

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Real‐world edoxaban concentrations in older patients receiving reduced‐dose regimens. Low trough concentrations (< 12 ng/mL) were associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. Among patients meeting the ELDERCARE‐AF criteria, low drug levels were more frequent with the 15 mg regimen than with the 30 mg regimen.
