Left atrial appendage pericardial fluid: contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography makes it visible.
Hippokratia 2016 July
BACKGROUND: Contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for the opacification of left atrial appendage (LAA) is not clearly suggested by the current guidelines and only scarce data are available.
CASE PRESENTATION: A patient with a membrane-like structure in the LAA cavity is presented. Contrast-enhanced TEE revealed LAA pericardial effusion and this diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance that offered comparable images and tissue characterization.
CONCLUSION: Contrast-enhanced TEE has been demonstrated to safely and accurately enlighten LAA anatomy. Hippokratia 2016, 20(3): 235-237.
