Inverted left atrial appendage masquerading as a left atrial mass
, 2017 An inverted left atrial appendage after cardiac surgery is a rare finding and can be misinterpreted as a thrombus, mass, or vegetation. We report a case where intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography assisted in making an accurate ...

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is an uncommon complication of transvenous cardiac device leads. Diagnosis may be challenging due to gradually developing and nonspecific symptoms. Furthermore, anatomical imaging does not always reflect the hemodynamic significance of venous stenosis.

First-in-Human Percutaneous Epicardial-Only Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using Sierra Left Atrial Appendage Ligation System [PDF]
Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation and contraindications for oral anticoagulation, in which an increased risk of stroke remains, a left atrial appendage exclusion should be considered for elimination, because the left atrial appendage is ...

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background To analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulation strategies/regimen used for managing thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage. Methods Thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage was detected via transesophageal echocardiography in 83 patients, most often during a stroke

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a non‐pharmacological alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Following the publication of recent CHAMPION‐AF and CLOSURE‐AF trials, an updated synthesis of evidence is warranted to clarify the long‐term ...

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2018 This study sought to investigate the safety of percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who have LAA thrombus. From October 2010 to October 2016, LAA occlusions were performed in facilities within a Korean multicenter registry in patients without (n = 132) or with (n = 10)

Transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography for the detection of left atrial appendage thrombus
, 1986 Thrombi located in the left atrial appendage are frequently not detected with conventional two-dimensional echocardiography. The transesophageal echocardiographic approach readily visualizes left atrial morphology and may be used as an alternative.
