چکیده
A 71-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea and irregular tachycardia. Investigation revealed the presence of pericardial effusion and left intra-auricular mass. The patient was sent to the operation theatre and after pericardial drain, the intra-atrial mass disappeared with retroactive diagnosis of left atrial appendage invagination.

Echocardiographic Sign of Regional Cardiac Tamponade
Background. Cardiac tamponade after cardiac surgical procedures is often associated with hemodynamically significant localized pericardial effusions. The localized collection of pericardial effusion in the postoperative period and the atypical presentation of cardiac tamponade limit the use of conventional clinical and echocardiographic signs usually seen with a circumferential pericardial effu...

متن کاملCardiac tamponade. A clinical or an echocardiographic diagnosis?
In most patients, cardiac tamponade should be diagnosed by a clinical examination that shows elevated systemic venous pressure, tachycardia, dyspnea, and paradoxical arterial pulse. Systemic blood pressure may be normal, decreased, or even elevated. The diagnosis is confirmed by echocardiographic demonstration of moderately large or large circumferential pericardial effusion and in most instanc...
متن کاملCardiac CT angiography for device surveillance after endovascular left atrial appendage closure.
AIMS Left atrial appendage (LAA) device imaging after endovascular closure is important to assess for device thrombus, residual leak, positioning, surrounding structures, and pericardial effusion. Cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) is well suited to assess these non-invasively. METHODS AND RESULTS We report our consecutive series of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients who underwent CCTA post...
