| PubMedID- 24371102 | Objectives: we investigated whether transesophageal echocardiography (tee) assisted with a computer-aided diagnostic (cad) algorithm was superior to tee in diagnosing left atrial (la)/left atrial appendage (laa) thrombi in patients with atrial fibrillation (af) in a single prospective study. |
| PubMedID- 24120872 | Background: left atrial appendage (laa) is the major source of cardiac thrombi in atrial fibrillation (af) and plays a major role in cardioembolic events. |
| PubMedID- 22286325 | Over 90% of thrombi identified in patients with atrial fibrillation without valvular disease originate in the left atrial appendage, whose occlusion is investigated as an alternative to anticoagulation. |
| PubMedID- 24346587 | Objective: the left atrial appendage (laa) is the source of 90% of thrombi in patients with atrial fibrillation. |
| PubMedID- 25533823 | Background: the left atrial appendage (laa) is thought to be the main source of thrombi in patients with atrial fibrillation (af). |
| PubMedID- 25330989 | Our findings support the concept that isolated pulmonary embolism may originate from right atrial thrombi due to atrial fibrillation. |
| PubMedID- 26157897 | The most common cause of ami is cardiac emboli from thrombi associated with atrial fibrillation or following myocardial infarction. |
| PubMedID- 23295101 | Aims: transesophageal echocardiography (tee) is the gold standard for the detection of thrombi in patients with atrial fibrillation (af) before undergoing early electrical cardioversion (cv). |
| PubMedID- 22232616 | atrial fibrillation leads to left atrial thrombi, carries a sixfold annual stroke risk (wolf et al., 1991), and is most prevalent in the elderly. |
| PubMedID- 23844972 | Introduction: transesophageal echocardiography (tee) is used to evaluate for left atrial appendage (laa) thrombi prior to restoration of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation (af). |
| PubMedID- 25240491 | Frequency and significance of right atrial appendage thrombi in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. |
| PubMedID- 20549522 | The main causes of perioperative ischemic stroke include cerebral atherothrombosis; lacuna stroke; cardiac thrombi due to atrial fibrillation; dehydration; hypotension; and perioperative systemic hypercoagulability. |
| PubMedID- 22043211 | Transesophageal echocardiography may be useful in patients with es to rule out thrombi in the presence of atrial fibrillation prior to cardioversion [30] or in search of vegetations when endocarditis is suspected [31]; however, low oxygen saturation levels in these patients, and the potential need for sedation makes this examination uncomfortable and alternative imaging modalities should be considered if tte is inconclusive. |
