Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Symptomatic giant left atrial aneurysm in a child : a rare entity [PDF]

, 2010
Isolated left atrial aneurysms are rare entities in clinical practice. Usually the condition is diagnosed in the second to fourth decades of life. The presence of such lesions in the pediatric age group is scantily described.

Incidence, Prevention, and Management of Periprocedural Complications of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion. [PDF]

, 2018
Major procedural complications related to left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are relatively infrequent but may be associated with major morbidity and mortality. LAAO operators should be knowledgeable about these potential complications.

A Large Retrospective Study to Evaluate Utility of Zephyr Covered Stent in Transcatheter Closure of Sinus Venosus Defects

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter closure (TCC) of sinus venosus defects (SVD) using balloon‐expandable covered stents is an emerging alternative to surgery. ZephyrCS (Sahajanand Laser Technologies, Gandhinagar, India) is available in long lengths to suit SVD closure.

Combined pulmonary vein stenosis stenting and left atrial appendage occlusion in a patient with hemoptysis after atrial fibrillation ablation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after radiofrequency ablation for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is an uncommon but serious complication. PVS stenting can rapidly restore pulmonary flow and improve symptoms with long-term low incidence of

Choosing Appropriate Candidates for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one the most prevalent arrhythmias globally and is associated with a significantly higher risk of morbidity and mortality, including an up to five-fold increase in risk of stroke. While oral anticoagulation therapy remains the

Spatial Mismatch Between Angiographic Obstruction and Plaque Destabilization in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Conceptual Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of the “culprit lesion” in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) traditionally relies on coronary angiography, assuming that the most severe stenosis, abrupt occlusion, or largest filling defect marks the site of plaque destabilization.
