Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2020
Atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a therapeutic option for thromboembolic prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who have contraindications to oral anticoagulation (OAC) or high risk of bleeding. Traditionally, thrombus in the LAA has been considered a contraindication for LAA occlusion.

Left atrial appendage myxoma masquerading as left atrial appendage thrombus

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013
Myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart. They can arise from any heart chamber, but have rarely been described as originating from the left atrial appendage. We describe a case of left atrial appendage myxoma mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus, and presenting with microembolization to the coronaries.

Dabigatran and left atrial appendage thrombus

Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, 2012
A 59-year-old white woman with previous history of arterial hypertension consulted because of palpitations. Atrial fibrillation of uncertain duration was diagnosed. She was not receiving anticoagulants. A trans-esophageal echocardiogram was performed, and a large left atrial appendage thrombus was detected. A strategy of rate control and anti-vitamin K

A Stunning Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus

Cardiology, 2016
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Left atrial appendage thrombus formation is a known major complication of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter which increases the risk of embolism and stroke. This risk of thrombosis is greatly increased with a lack of anticoagulation.

A strange thrombus in the left atrial appendage

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018
Two-dimensional-transoesophageal-guided cardioversion is an established strategy for managing atrial arrhythmias and is commonly used to detect left atrial appendage thrombi with a high level of diagnostic confidence. In this case, we describe a challenging case of left atrial appendage mass characterization solved by a multimodality imaging approach.

Risk factors for left atrial appendage thrombus

Acta Cardiologica, 2020
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent rhythm disorder that has been shown to be associated with a significant increase in stroke risk. Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi are responsible for most of strokes of cardiac origin.

Left Atrial Thrombus—Are All Atria and Appendages Equal?

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2022
Although the left atrial appendage (LAA) seems useless, it has several critical functions that are not fully known yet, such as the causes for being the main origin of cardioembolic stroke. Difficulties arise due to the extreme range of LAA morphologic variability, making the definition of normality challenging and hampering the stratification of ...

Right atrial appendage thrombus in a patient with a left atrial appendage occlusion device

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2022
Management of right atrial appendage (RAA) thrombus is a clinical dilemma. We describe a case of incidentally found RAA thrombus in a patient with a left atrial appendage closure device (WATCHMAN). Options for the management of RAA thrombus include observation, anticoagulation, thrombolytics, or surgical extraction.

Resolution of a Warfarin and Dabigatran-Resistant Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus With Apixaban

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
The majority of embolisms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) are from the left atrial appendage (LAA). To treat the existing thrombus, warfarin and novel anticoagulants have been used.

Comprehensive Left Atrial Appendage Optimization of Thrombus Using Surface Echocardiography: The CLOTS Multicenter Pilot Trial

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2009
International audienceBACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the ability to identify thrombus within the left atrial appendage (LAA) in the setting of atrial fibrillation (AF) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
