Inverted Left Atrial Appendage Masquerading as a Left Atrial Mass
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 diagnosis.
متن کاملInverted left atrial appendage masquerading as myxoma.
A39-year-old woman was evaluated for an intra-atrial mass after having suffered a CT-verified stroke. She experienced a total remission of her neurological symptoms within 6 weeks. A search for embolic foci was conducted. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass in the left atrium. MRI confirmed the diagnosis. At surgery, instead of the suspected myxoma, an inverted left atrial appendage ...
متن کاملCatheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion procedure: role of echocardiography.
Atrial fibrillation is a common, clinically significant arrhythmic disorder that results in increased risk of morbidity and mortality in affected patients. Atrial fibrillation is more prevalent among men compared with women and the risk for developing atrial fibrillation increases with advancing age. Ischaemic stroke is the most common clinical manifestation of embolic events from atrial fibril...
متن کاملGiant Left Atrial Myxoma Masquerading as Cough-Syncope Syndrome
Left atrial myxomas are the most common type of benign primary cardiac tumor. Patients can present with generalized symptoms, such as fatigue, symptoms from obstruction of the myxoma, or even embolization of the myxoma causing distal thrombosis. We describe a case with several-month duration of syncopal episodes that occurred after coughing and with exertion. Computed tomography of the chest sh...
متن کاملLeft atrial appendage activity masquerading as pulmonary vein potentials.
BACKGROUND Despite extensive proximal ablation, all potentials frequently cannot be eliminated from the left pulmonary veins (PV). Methods and Results- PV electrograms were analyzed during sinus rhythm, coronary sinus, and left atrial appendage (LAA) pacing, and PV and LAA angiography performed. During pacing, an initial low-amplitude slow potential was recorded on the anterior aspect of the le...
