Application of computed tomographic angiography and echocardiography in predicting left atrial appendage thrombosis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Both CTA and RT-3D-TEE had high predictive values for LAA thrombosis in atrial fibrillation patients.PMID:36383152 | DOI:10.5830/CVJA-2022-052

Relations between left atrial appendage contrast retention and thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation
This study was designed to assess the relations between LAA contrast retention and thrombogenesis risk of the LAA in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. A total of 132 consecutive patients who underwent LAAO were enrolled. The data collected from computed tomography (CT), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and blood samples were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to assess the association between CR, left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) and other factors. Contrast retention was observed in 33 patients, accounting for 25% o...

Atrial Fibrillation and Resistant Stroke: Does Left Atrial Appendage Morphology Matter? A Case Report
Conclusion: The systematic study of LAA in patients with resistant-stroke could help to identify LAA malignant morphology. The efficacy on stroke recurrence of the combined therapy (anticoagulants plus LAAO) is worthy to be tested in randomized trials.

Correlation between left atrial appendage morphology and flow velocity in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Conclusion LAA morphology is a significant determinant of LAAFV, suggesting an underlying mechanism for the association between LAA morphology and embolic events.
