Giant Left Atrial Appendage Mimicking a Mediastinal Tumor.
A 22-year-old man visited our hospital for an evaluation of a suspected mediastinal tumor on chest radiography (Picture A, arrow). He was asymptomatic and had no past medical history. Electrocardiography (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated normal findings, and Holter ECG showed no significant arrhythmias. As contrastenhanced three-dimensional chest computed tomography revealed...
متن کاملThrombosed giant left atrium mimicking a mediastinal tumor.
A patient with rheumatic heart disease, mitral stenosis, and mitral insufficiency is described. The thrombosed giant left atrium paralyzed the left vocal cord and completely obstructed the bronchi to the middle and lower lobes of the right lung. The giant left atrium mimicked a mediastinal tumor on the chest x-ray film.

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 کاملThe Giant "a" Wave of the Left Atrial Appendage.
IN an exploration of the left atrium via an atrial septal defect during a recent cardiac catheterization in this laboratory, the catheter tip entered the left atrial appendage. An exaggerated "a" wave observed in the pressure contour from the left atrial appendage was striking and exceeded in amplitude the "a" wave from the left atrium proper. Following a similar observation shortly thereafter ...
