Cauliflower-like mass attached to the left atrial roof.
A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital for investigation of a suspected mass in the left atrium (LA) and asymmetric septal hypertrophy of the left ventricle without significant obstruction detected by screening transthoracic echocardiography of atrial fibrillation (AF). Transesophageal echocardiography revealed dynamic smoke-like echo filling in LA and a cauliflower-like, large (22×16 m...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic left atrial roof vein
A seventy year-old male was referred to our hospital to undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Pre-operative three-dimensional computed tomography revealed a unique left atrial (LA) roof vein. Electrophysiological findings showed expansion of the myocardial sleeve and local firing in the LA roof vein. We performed isolation of th...
متن کاملRupture of the left atrial roof due to blunt trauma.
Cardiac rupture after blunt trauma is rare and associated with high mortality. The anatomic pattern of blunt cardiac rupture has been demonstrated with the right cardiac chambers more frequently affected than the left. Furthermore, left atrial injury is usually restricted to the atrial appendage and the pulmonary vein-atrial junction. Herein, we report the first case of a 61-year old man with a...
متن کاملleft atrial and left atrial appendage mass diagnosed by cardiac imaging: a case report
introduction left atrial thrombi are present in one third of patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation. a left atrial mass can be diagnosed as a thrombus by transthoracic echocardiography in the presence of the predisposing factors for a thrombus such as mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation. the sensitivity of transthoracic echocardiography for detecting left atr...
متن کاملInverted 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.
