Left Superior Vena Cava Draining to Left Atrium: A Case Report, Review of the Literature, and Classification
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining to the left atrium (LA) is a rare congenital abnormality that is often asymptomatic and found...
-
Consequences and Mechanisms of Left Atrium Remodeling in Aging Rabbits
To investigate the consequences and mechanisms of myocardium remodeling of aging left atrium, we analyzed the main cardiac electrophysiological...
-
Isolated right superior vena cava drainage into the left atrium
Isolated right superior vena cava (RSVC) drainage into the left atrium (LA) is a rare congenital anomaly, presenting diagnostic and management...

Evaluating the consistency in different methods for measuring left atrium diameters
BackgroundThe morphological information of the pulmonary vein (PV) and left atrium (LA) is of immense clinical importance for effective atrial...

A surgical resection case of myxoma arising from the posterior wall of the left atrium complicated with complete atrioventricular block
An 80-year-old female was referred to our institution due to transient right upper limb weakness. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography...

Blood flow analysis with computational fluid dynamics in the left atrium after left atrial plication: a prospective study
ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate blood flow stagnation in an enlarged left atrium (LA) and prove that left atrial plication (LAP) could...
-
Impact of left atrium plication on chronic heart failure with atrial functional mitral regurgitation
PurposeWe hypothesized that a giant left atrium may oppress the posterior left ventricle and aggravate diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. We...

Comparative study of left atrium epicardial fat tissue pattern using persistent homology approach
ObjectiveAtrial Fibrillation (A-fib) is an abnormal heartbeat condition in which the heart races and beats in an uncontrollable way. It is observed...

Complete resection of a recurrent bronchogenic cyst tightly adhered to the left atrium using cardiopulmonary bypass: a case report
BackgroundMost surgeons agree that symptomatic mediastinal bronchogenic cysts should be resected, and complete resection is considered mandatory to...

The so-called absorption process of the pulmonary vein into the left atrium of the heart: a histological study using human embryos and fetuses
BackgroundEmbryonic pulmonary veins (PVs) are believed to be absorbed into the left atrium (LA) to provide an adult morphology in which “four” veins...
