Key result
The left atrial septal pouch (LASP) demonstrated thrombogenic potential, evidenced by two distinct thrombotic masses emerging from the LASP and its related areas in this case report.
Why the study?
The left atrial septal pouch has been suspected to be a potential thrombogenic source, but its actual role as a risk factor for cryptogenic stroke remains unclear.
Case Report
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This case report highlights the left atrial septal pouch as a potential thrombogenic source that may be relevant in the context of cryptogenic stroke.
The left atrial septal pouch (LASP) is a recently identified anatomical variant of the interatrial septum. It is the result of the incomplete fusion of septum primum and septum secundum and defined as a recessus communicating with the left atrium without interatrial shunt. Such anatomical feature has been suspected representing a potential thrombogenic source, but its actual role as risk factor for cryptogenic stroke still remains unclear. In this case report, we show two distinct thrombotic masses emerging from the LASP and its related areas.
