Echocardiography, 2018
Left atrial (LA) masses are known to be associated with peripheral embolization. Accurate identification of etiology is crucial because treatment strategies may differ. We present the case of a young woman, who was initially diagnosed with a LA thrombus and anticoagulated.

Left atrial appendage occlusion
Heart, 2014Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for stroke and thromboembolism prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a significant advancement in the field of cardiovascular disease. Prevention and avoidance of the devastating consequences of thromboembolic complications from AF continues to be central in the management of these ...

Left atrial appendage morphology predicts the formation of left atrial appendage thrombus
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021AbstractBackgroundNonchicken wing left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology is associated with higher risk for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) than chicken wing (CW) morphology.ObjectiveAssess whether LAA morphology predicts the formation of LAA thrombus independent of age, sex, presenting rhythm, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),

Left Atrial Appendage Stenosis
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1999Narrowing at the mouth of the left atrial appendage has been reported after partial surgical ligation of the appendage. This report describes a patient, without prior cardiac surgery, who had an anatomic narrowing at the opening of the left atrial appendage demonstrated by 2-dimensional, Doppler, and color Doppler echocardiography.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005Aneurysms of the left atrial appendage are exceedingly rare. Patients most commonly present with atrial tachyarrhythmias and thromboembolism. Resection of the aneurysm is usually curative. We present a case report of a 60-year-old female with a long-standing history of atrial arrhythmias found to have a large left atrial appendage aneurysm with ...

Management of the left atrial appendage
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011Surgical and interventional exclusion left atrial appendage (LAA) are becoming important alternatives to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in the setting of atrial fibrillation. Herein we present the different approaches (endocardial vs. epicardial) to LAA occlusion.

Aneurysm of the left atrial appendage
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2002We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with atrial tachyarrhythmias and chest pain. The transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated an intrapericardial liquid mass confirmed as an aneurysm of the left atrial appendage by a nuclear magnetic imaging study.

Morphology of the Left Atrial Appendage
The Anatomical Record, 1995AbstractBackground: When examining the left atrial appendage by transesophageal echocardiography, differences in size and shape of the left atrial appendage are to be observed. The study was carried out with the aim of investigating the morphology of the left atrial appendage and to find associations with pathologic cardiac findings.Methods and results:

Aneurysm of the Left Atrial Appendage
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1972A case of an aneurysm of the left atrial appendage with an intact pericardium, the 5th case reported in available literature, is described. The patient suffered from attacks of tachyarrhythmias occurring after giving birth to a child. The diagnosis was suggested at routine chest X-ray examination and later confirmed by right heart angiography. Surgical

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2015
Stroke or systemic embolism is a devastating consequence of atrial fibrillation (AF) due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). AF causes thrombus formation in the LAA due to both the loss of atrial systole and the unique anatomic features of the LAA. Oral anticoagulation is a well established and effective therapy to reduce the risk
