A 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...

Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality and is a leading cause of disability in the world today. Current estimates suggest a stroke incidence of 780 000 cases yearly, and it remains the most feared complication of cardiovascular disease.1 Brain ischemia is multifactorial—it may result from carotid artery occlusion, plaque embolization, and aortic atheromatous debris. A major cause is car...

متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a treatment strategy to prevent blood clot formation in atrial appendage. Although, LAA occlusion usually was done by catheter-based techniques, especially percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), it can be done during closed and open mitral valve commissurotomy (CMVC, OMVC) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) too. Nowadays, PTMC is perfor...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder. It is increasing in incidence, which has major societal implications for our aging population.1–3 It is estimated to affect 1% to 1.5% of the developed world, and the incidence increases with age to a rate of 19.2 per 1000 patient-years in those 65 years of age and older. The most important aspect of the treatment of p...
