Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates that thrombus formation can occur inside a left atrial septal pouch, highlighting a potential source of embolic complications.
May flag left atrial septal pouch as embolic source in cryptogenic stroke; leaves open prevalence and risk.
Left atrial septal pouch (LASP) is a recently described anatomical entity that is formed by the caudal fusion of the area of overlap between septum primum and the septum secundum [ [1] Krishnan S.C. Salazar M. Septal pouch in the left atrium: a new anatomical entity with potential for embolic complications. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2010; 3: 98-104 Crossref PubMed Scopus (78) Google Scholar ]. The potential for thrombus formation inside this pouch remains debatable. We present an extremely rarely reported case of LASP thrombus.
