Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016
Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are extremely rare. This condition is usually diagnosed incidentally or after the occurrence of thrombotic events or cardiac tachyarrhythmias in the second to fourth decades of life. It can predispose to hazardous adverse events, including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and systemic thromboembolism ...

NUMERIC VALUE OF LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE MEAN DIASTOLIC EMPTYING VELOCITY IN PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, ASSESSED BY TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY FOR PREDICTION OF RESTORATION OF SINUS RHYTHM UNDERGOING DIRECT CURRENT CARDIOVERSION AND

Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2021
Objective: To determine the value of left atrial appendage mean diastolic emptying velocity at which there is restoration of normal sinus rhythm from atrial fibrillation either by electrical cardioversion or pharmacological cardioversion, development of

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

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.
