Morphology and location of thrombus and sludge in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Stroke and thromboembolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) primarily arise from thrombi or sludge in the left atrial appendage (LAA).

Wandering large left atrial thrombus

IHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2018
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is still one of the common causes of heart disease in India. It is also the most common cause of mitral stenosis (MS). Nearly one in every five mitral stenosis presents with thrombi in the left atrium (LA), therefore it has ...

Circulatory Stasis or Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage, An Easy Diagnostic Solution

, 2019
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of prone position cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi and to make differentiate between thrombus and ...

Acute Postcardioversion Left Atrial Appendage Stasis During Left Atrial Appendage Closure Procedures

JACC: Case Reports
Background: Acute postcardioversion left atrial appendage (LAA) low-flow states are recognized but likely underdetected, as repeat appendage imaging is not routine after sinus restoration.

72-year-old woman after a left atrial appendage occluder

, 2019
A 72-year-old woman presented for routine echocardiography 6 months following percutaneous insertion of a left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) due to atrial fibrillation with contraindications to anticoagulation. The procedure was uncomplicated, and she

Echocardiographic Framework for Left Atrial Appendage Morphology Assessment and Thromboembolic Risk Stratification in Atrial Fibrillation

Diagnostics
Background: Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) causes a thrombus risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Accurate identification of LAA morphology reduces thrombotic stroke.

Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus Formation in a Patient on Dabigatran Therapy Associated With ABCB1 and CES-1 Genetic Defect

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Dabigatran, directly targeting thrombin, is widely used for the prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We reported a rare case of left atrial appendage thrombus formation in a persistent NVAF patient despite the 31 months ...

Self-Expandable Device for Percutaneous Closing of Left Atrial Appendage With Organized Thrombus in a Patient With Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

, 2013
While a left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device may reduce the risk of cardioembolic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, an antithromboembolic strategy for patients with an organized thrombus in the LAA is still unclear.
