متن کاملA Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
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 کاملRole of Cardiac Imaging for Catheter-based Left Atrial Appendage Closure.
Thromboembolic stroke is the most serious complication in patients suffering from Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial thrombi have a predilection to form in the left atrial appendage. Accordingly, oral anticoagulation is recommended for patients with high risk of stroke. However, it is widely underused and problems of compliance are associated with serious risk of bleeding or inefficacy. In these patie...
