Posterior Circulation Stroke From Paradoxical Embolism in a Patient With Patent Foramen Ovale Dislodged During Masturbation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Diagnosis of stroke in young and otherwise healthy individuals is rare, but early detection and treatment are crucial to patient outcomes. There may be unusual factors that lead to a presentation of stroke as seen in this case.

The Relationship Between Left Atrial Appendage Morphology and Thrombus presence in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation, Evaluated by Transesophageal Echocardiography [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts
Background: Atrial fibrillation [AF] significantly increases the risk of thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage [LAA]. The morphology of the LAA has been suggested to play a crucial role in thrombus presence, yet its relationship remains unclear.

Effect of Wall Motion Sampling on CFD‐Derived Left Atrial Flow Metrics

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 11, November 2026.
This study quantifies how the temporal resolution of medical imaging affects patient‐specific CFD predictions of left atrial flow. Comparing high‐resolution reference motion with undersampled reconstructions, we show that ≥$$ \ge $$ 20 frames per cardiac cycle yield improved quantitative accuracy for LAA stasis metrics, while lower temporal resolutions

Left atrial appendage closure: beyond the artifact.

, 2014
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) represents the gold standard technique to detect left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombosis. Several conditions may be erroneously interpreted as LAA thrombus at TEE, including artifacts mimicking thrombi.

Prevalence and Predictors of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus by Sex

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis
Background Women with atrial fibrillation (AF) have historically been considered to have higher thromboembolic risk than men. The CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score treated female sex as an independent risk factor.

The Left Atrial Appendage Revised

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is associated with a 4- to 5-fold strokes increase and may be responsible for 15% to 20% of all strokes in the elderly. In this scenario, the left atrial appendage thrombus would be the associated with 90% of cases.
