Background—Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is considered the gold standard
modality in detecting left atrial/LA appendage (LA/LAA) thrombi. However, this is a semi …

Background Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been considered the gold
standard for left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus detection. Nevertheless, TEE may …

Objectives The current reference standard for diagnosing LAA thrombi is transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE), a semi-invasive technique. We aimed to devise an optimal …

Background Intracardiac thrombi arising in the left atrial appendage (LAA) are the principal
cause of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Predicting the presence of LAA thrombi …

We performed a meta-analysis about the prevalence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) in patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE). Studies …

Aims Despite optimal oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonist, left atrial (LA) thrombus
could be detected in the left appendage (LAA) in> 2% of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Aims This study aimed to identify whether left atrial (LA) volume assessed by multidetector
computed tomography (MDCT) is related to the long-term success of pulmonary vein …

Background Computed tomography angiography (CTA) can identify and rule out left atrial
appendage (LAA) thrombus when delayed imaging is also performed. Objective In patients …

Aims Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for the detection of
thrombi in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) before undergoing early electrical cardioversion …

Background Accurate and reproducible diagnostic techniques are essential to detect left-
sided cardiac thrombi [either in the left ventricle (LV) or in the left atrial appendage (LAA)] …
