Device-Related Thrombus After Left Atrial Appendage Closure [PDF]

, 2019
Although left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has proved non-inferior to oral anticoagulants in patients with AF, there has been recent concern about the occurrence of late complications, especially device-related thrombus (DRT), which was associated ...

COMPARISION OF TRANSTHORACIC AND TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY FOR THE DETECTION OF LEFT ATRIAL THROMBUS IN RHEUMATIC MITRAL VALVULAR DISEASE

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2004
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed in 114 patients with rheumatic mitral valvular disease and its results were compared with those of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

New prospects for assessing the hemostasis system in atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage thrombosis

Атеротромбоз, 2023
Thromboembolic syndrome, the frequency of which is 8–15%, is the main danger for a patient with atrial fibrillation (AF). The left atrial appendage is the most common source of thromboembolia in atrial fibrillation.

Papillary Fibroelastoma in Differential Diagnosis of Left Atrial Appendage Masses [PDF]

, 2021
Papillary fibroelastomas are benign tumors that usually originate from cardiac valves but may have other endocardial origins. We report the cases of 2 patients in whom left atrial appendage masses were initially diagnosed as thrombus.

Enlargement of the Excluded Left Atrial Appendage With Thrombus

International Heart Journal, 2017
We report progressive enlargement of the excluded left atrial appendage (LAA) with a thrombus in a patient who had undergone valve surgery and endocardial suture closure of the LAA previously. Echocardiography and CT detected no communication between the LAA and the left atrium.

Factors associated with left atrial appendage thrombus (results of a retrospective analysis)

Journal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University: Series Medicine
Background. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia and, due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage, is associated with a significant increase in the risk of thromboembolic complications, primarily ischemic stroke, transient

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices

, 2014
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk for thromboembolic stroke five-fold. The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been shown to be the main source of thrombus formation in the majority of strokes associated with AF.

An imaging artifact unmasked by contrast‐enhanced transesophageal echocardiography

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message Performing transesophageal imaging of the left atrial appendage is key before cardioversion for atrial fibrillation. Ultrasound artifacts may induce misinterpretation and decrease in confidence for thrombus exclusion.

PREDICTORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AFTER DISSOLUTION OF A THROMBUS IN THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE

Актуальные проблемы теоретической и клинической медицины, 2022
Objective: To compare the incidence of cardiovascular complications (CVC) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after dissolution of a thrombus in the left atrial appendage (LAA), as well as in patients with persistent AF without prior LAA
