Using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for the detection of ASA, Schneider and coworkers 14 observed cerebrovascular events in 12 (52%) of 23 consecutive patients with ASA and noted marked thickening of the atrial septum suggestive of thrombus formation in 9 of the 12 patients.

3 lut 2012 · Atrial septal aneurysm is a rare cardiac abnormality that is usually detected during routine echocardiography or evaluation of ischemic stroke. It may be isolated or in the presence of other defects, most often patent foramen ovale.
Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) was defined as a septum primum excursion ≥10 mm from the plane of the atrial septum into the right or left atrium. Large patent foramen ovale (PFO) was defined by the appearance of >30 microbubbles in the left atrium within 3 cardiac cycles after opacification of the right atrium.
21 mar 2021 · Atrial septal aneurysms are associated with systemic embolisation through four separate mechanisms. The first mechanism is paradoxical embolism, most commonly with ASA acting as a risk enhancer for an associated PFO, and more rarely, via fenestrations in the ASA [20,39].
What symptoms are associated with atrial septal aneurysm? Atrial septal aneurysms — which providers may find on a routine echocardiogram — are most often without symptoms. If you have symptoms, they may be from an associated finding like arrhythmias, blood clots or patent foramen ovales (PFOs). Symptoms may include: Chest pain or discomfort.
31 maj 2022 · Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart lesion in adults and is often asymptomatic until adulthood. Diagnosis is important, as timely ASD repair improves outcomes. (See "Management of atrial septal defects in adults".)
24 sty 2024 · Interatrial septal aneurysm, also known as atrial septal aneurysm (ASA), means there is a bulge in the wall of tissue that separates the left and right atria of the heart. Learn more.
