Morphometric topography of the left atrial appendage in human adult heart

Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2022
Topography of the left atrial appendage is of importance for supraventricular arrhythmias surgery and sealing of the appendage orifice to prevent thromboembolism in cryptogenic strokes.

The clinical anatomy of the left atrial structures used as landmarks in ablation of arrhythmogenic substrates and cardiac invasive procedures

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2021
Background: The clinical anatomy of the left atrium is of special interest since many invasive procedures are performed within this chamber. Pulmonary vein isolation, linear transcatheter ablations, transcatheter mitral valve repair procedures and left ...

A Misleading Left Atrial Appendage

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Left atrial appendage collapse is a relatively unusual echocardiographic finding. Although in post-cardiac surgery patients it may be an early sign of cardiac tamponade, and pericardiocentesis should be discussed, a conservative approach may be followed in cases secondary to viral infection without confusing it with a left atrial appendage thrombus ...

Case report: pulmonary artery perforation during transseptal puncture for left atrial appendage closure requires emergency cardiac operation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Patients with atrial fibrillation who take a high bleeding risk and are not candidates for oral anticoagulation therapy are increasingly being referred for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) as an alternative method of stroke prevention.

Epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
The presence of left atrial thrombus is a contraindication to cardioversion or catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, due to the increased risk of systemic thromboembolism.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Under Intracardiac Echocardiographic Guidance: Feasibility and Comparison With Transesophageal Echocardiography

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundTranscatheter left atrial appendage closure is an alternative therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients. These procedures are currently guided with transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy in most centers.

Left Atrial Appendage Stenosis

Echocardiography, 2001
We describe an unusual case with an anatomic narrowing at the opening of the left atrial appendage demonstrated by two‐dimensional color Doppler and continuous‐wave Doppler transesophageal echocardiography.

The missing left atrial appendage [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2012
A 34 year old man underwent a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) prior to implantation of a biventricular ICD and DC cardioversion, to exclude left atrium and left atrial appendage thrombus. He had a history of repaired tetralogy of Fallot as a child, Stickler syndrome, atrial flutter and was status post recent mitral valve replacement, pulmonary ...
