The lateral side of the tricuspid valve annulus was displaced because of compression (Fig. 1, 2, Video 1). Additionally, transesophageal echocardiogr...
متن کاملEctopic atrial tachycardia originating from right atrial appendage aneurysms in children: Three case reports
Introduction Ectopic atrial tachycardia occurs at a rate of 5%–20% among children with supraventricular tachycardia. Atrial appendages are the most frequent focus in children, differing from the situation in adults. However, ectopic atrial tachycardia originating from aneurysms of the right atrial appendage is very rare and in fact has not yet been clearly defined. We describe 3 cases of childr...
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...
