Underdevelopment of Left Atrial Appendage [PDF]
Korean Circulation Journal, 2017 A patient was admitted for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Cardiac computed tomography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed the absence of the left atrial appendage. However, the right atrial appendage looked normal and the level of pro B-natriuretic peptide was within normal limits. Successful catheter ablation was performed without

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 ...

Anatomy of the shape of the cavity and the internal relief of the walls of the left atrial appendage
Учёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2022 Introduction. The evaluation of the shape of the left atrial appendage into interconnection with the internal relief of its wall is of an importance for discovering anatomical patterns of the left atrium, which appears to be the most thrombogenic and are

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 ...
