The Last View: A Critical Finding Revealed by Systematic Multi-Angle Imaging

Year: 2025

Type: preprint

Abstract: Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation is a well-known finding in patients with atrial fibrillation and in other conditions associated with loss of LAA mechanical function. Comprehensive, multi-angle transesophageal echocardiography is essential for accurate LAA assessment. Clinically significant findings, such as thrombus, may only be visualized at specific angles, underscoring the importance of systematic multi-angle imaging to avoid missed diagnoses.
