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...
متن کاملRelationship of Left Ventricular Size to Left Atrial and Left Atrial Appendage Size in Sinus Rhythm Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
INTRODUCTION Thromboembolic events are a frequent cause of mortality in patients with congestive heart failure. The aim of or study was to evaluate the relationship of left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) to left atrial (LA) size and left atrial appendage (LAA) size in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy in sinus rhythm, as well as to determine the prevalence of thrombi in LV and LA...
متن کاملMultiple left ventricular thrombi in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and cerebral infarction: a case report
INTRODUCTION It is not clear whether patients with sinus rhythm and reduced left ventricular function should be treated with anticoagulation therapy during or after treatment for heart failure. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized at our institution with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. On day after discharge, he developed cerebral infarction and showed pe...
متن کاملSevere Complications of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi: a case report
Clinical significance of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is well-known for a cardiologist, but it's not so familiar to a radiologist. Patients with frequent dysrhythmia, especially with atrial fibrillation, often result in thrombus formation and subsequent cardioembolic events. This might be able to contribute to strokes, peripheral arteries occlusive disease (PAOD), or even death. We present a...
متن کاملThrombectomy for left ventricular protruding thrombi in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Left ventricular thrombus is one source of cardiogenic embolism. The protruding, mobile type is the highest risk subgroup but is rarely encountered. Thrombectomy is one choice of therapy, and variously recommended based primarily on the experience with myocardial infarction. We report a rare case of successful left ventricular thrombectomy for two protruding, mobile thrombi in a patient with id...
