Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Closure in Patients with Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus

Background: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have a high bleeding risk or contraindications to anticoagulation may be candidates for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). However, the presence of a thrombus in the left atrial appendage (LAA) is

Overcoming barriers for left atrial appendage thrombus: a systematic review of left atrial appendage closure

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Abstract Background Approximately 90% of intracardial thrombi originate from the left atrial appendage in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. Even with anticoagulant therapy, left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) still occurs in 8% of patients.

Aortic valve replacement using valve-in-valve procedure in a patient with left atrial appendage thrombus

, 2020
In recent years, indications and age range of patients who are eligible for transcatheter aortic valve replacement have been increasingly extended. The presence of a thrombus in the left atrial appendage is an exclusion criterion in many studies using ...

Efficient Removal of Nascent Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus to Facilitate Left Atrial Appendage Closure

JACC: Case Reports
Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus often precludes immediate closure owing to embolic risk, complicating care for high-risk patients needing stroke prevention.A 78-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation and recent intracranial hemorrhage was referred for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC).

Development of New Left Atrial Anatomical Models for the Study of the Left Atrial Appendage Implications in Atrial Fibrillation

, 2018
Atrial fibrillation is associated with a five-fold increase of the stroke risk. Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the atrial site with the highest blood stasis risk, increasing thrombus formation and stroke.

Transnasal Transesophageal Echocardiography Guidance for Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure

, 2019
In the local anesthesia state, left atrial appendage closure cannot be accomplished under the real-time guidance of conventional transesophageal echocardiography because it induces significant discomfort for the patient.

Transesophageal Echocardiographic Findings of Left Atrial Floating Thrombus

, 2008
　　Left atrial thrombus formation is a common complication in patients with mitral stenosis. A free-floating thrombus in the left atrium, however , has rarely been reported.
