DOI: 10.1002/joa3.70120
Abstract: Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an extremely rare anatomical variation with important implications for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Additionally, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) production may be compensated by the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12565-019-00489-z
Abstract: Clinically, anatomy of the appendage of the atrium is associated with atrial fibrillation, with the shape and lobation of the appendage having been used to stratify the risk of thromboembolic events. The aim of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14796678.2025.2499449
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of ischemic stroke by increasing left atrial appendage thrombus formation. Previously surgically ligated atrial appendages can recanalize, which increases stroke risk. Percutaneous ligation of such appendages is technically challenging due… read more here.
