Congenital absence of left atrial appendage combined with type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome diagnosed by multimodal imaging

J Clin Ultrasound. 2022 Jan;50(1):28-30. doi: 10.1002/jcu.23096. Epub 2021 Nov 9.

Abstract

The absence of left atrial appendage (LAA) is relatively rare, especially with type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Secondly, we diagnosed it by multimodal imaging including two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), CT, electrophysiological examination, and 3D electro anatomical mapping system, which is more comprehensive.

Keywords: absence of left atrial appendage; multimodal imaging; type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
