A giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with a large pinball-like thrombus in a 2 year old.

ABSTRACT: Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is very rare. We describe a giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with a pinball-like mobile thrombus in a 2-year-old child with cardioembolic stroke. Patient underwent successful surgical resection of the aneurysm.

Percutaneous isolation of left atrial appendage thrombus.

Project description:Most physicians regard left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus as a contraindication for LAA occlusion due to risk of distal embolization which is a serious complication. Here we report a case of successfully implanted Amplazter cardiac plug without complication in elderly patients having LAA thrombus with recurrent embolic events despite oral anticoagulants for prevention of thromboembolic events. <Learning objective: LAA thrombus is not completely resolved in all cases and can be a potential source of stroke or embolization even during anti-coagulation. We would like to share a case that suffered from 6 strokes or embolizations despite anti-coagulation, warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anti-coagulants due to incomplete resolution of LAA thrombus. In this clinical situation, we can suggest LAA occlusion to isolate thrombus from LA and prevent further stroke or embolization.>.

Blood Flow Dynamics in a Giant Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm Visualized by 4D-Flow CMR.

Project description:Aneurysms of the left atrial appendage (LAA) are rare entities that often require surgical intervention. We demonstrate multimodality imaging features of a giant LAA aneurysm, with a focus on 3-dimensional blood flow dynamics by using 4-dimensional-flow cardiac magnetic resonance. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Planning and execution of catheter closure of a giant left atrial appendage aneurysm causing recurrent cardioembolism.

Project description:Giant left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAAs) are rare causes of recurrent cardioembolism and managed routinely by surgery. A first catheter closure of a giant LAAA is reported, when a recent cerebral infarct precluded immediate surgery. Planning included ostial measurement on multimodal imaging, echo navigation for septal puncture, rotational angiogram for profiling, overlay imaging for device placement, and cerebral embolic protection from thrombus debris.

Left atrial appendage thrombus on full-dose dabigatran treatment: a case report.

Project description:Background:Dabigatran is a direct competitive thrombin inhibitor approved for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation. At full-dose, dabigatran showed similar rates of bleedings and higher efficacy compared to warfarin. Case summary:We report a case of acute ischaemic stroke in a patient treated with dabigatran 150?mg b.i.d. for atrial fibrillation. After an off-label treatment with idarucizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody approved for dabigatran reversal, we performed a successful intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Transoesophageal echocardiography showed a left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus, despite full-dose dabigatran and an adequate therapy adherence. Discussion:There are few cases of LAA thrombus during dabigatran treatment reported in literature till date. We analyse the possible pathogenetic mechanisms involved in dabigatran failure, including drug interactions and unexpected genetic variations interfering with dabigatran serum levels suggesting periodical assessment of direct Oral Anticoagulant levels. Furthermore, we confirm initial reports of safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis after idarucizumab, in case of dabigatran failure.

Left atrial appendage thrombus detected by transesophageal examination with linear endoscopic ultrasound.

Project description:Linear endoscopic ultrasound (L-EUS) is mainly performed to assess pancreaticobiliary and mediastinal diseases. In this report, transesophageal observation with L-EUS revealed an LAA thrombus that was not detected by transthoracic echocardiography. This report highlights a novel potential role for L-EUS in the detection of cardiovascular diseases including LAA thrombi.

Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm: A rare case report and literature review.

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are rare. Patients with LAAA are often diagnosed incidentally or after cardiac tachyarrhythmia or systemic thromboembolism happen. Early diagnosis and surgical resection is of utmost importance to prevent hazardous adverse events.We present a case of 46-year-old man with congenital LAAA. The individual in this manuscript has given written informed consent to publish these case details.Imaging studies, such as echocardiography, cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated the large cavity arising from the left atrial appendage. The diagnosis of LAAA was confirmed.The patient underwent an aneurysmectomy without any complications.TTE confirmed the disappearance of the LAAA from the left parasternal short-axis view of the aortic root postoperatively. The patient remained asymptomatic without any adverse events at his 3-month follow-up visits.The associated high risk of life-threatening complications and the relative ease of surgical removal suggest that prompt evaluation should be considered in patients with lesions adjacent to the left heart border.

Epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus.

Project description:The presence of left atrial thrombus is a contraindication to cardioversion or catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, due to the increased risk of systemic thromboembolism. Management of this situation includes changes in the anticoagulation regimen and repeat imaging tests. Accurate diagnosis of left atrial appendage thrombus is therefore essential but can sometimes be challenging. Multiple imaging modalities may sometimes be required in the setting of anatomical variations of the left atrial appendage and surrounding structures. We present the case of a patient awaiting ablation for atypical atrial flutter, who underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram that showed an echodense, mobile structure within the vicinity of the left atrial appendage, suggesting a possible thrombus. A cardiac CT demonstrated the image to correlate with an epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus.
