Left atrial appendage aneurysm [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2019
Abstract Left atrial appendage aneurysm is an infrequent abnormality presenting as atrial tachyarrhythmias, progressive dyspnoea, atypical chest pain and systemic thromboembolism. Surgical excision is considered to prevent fatal complications, even in asymptomatic cases. We describe the case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of acute

Late Presentation of Pulmonary Artery-Left Atrial Appendage Fistula Formation After Left Atrial Appendage Device Closure

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice with indication for anticoagulation in those patients whose annual risk for thromboembolism is >2%. Left atrial appendage closure is growing as an alternative to anticoagulation.
