The left atrial septal pouch (LASP) is formed by incomplete fusion of the septum primum and
septum secundum, leaving a cavity open towards the left atrium, but without interatrial …

The main published studies on patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure after cryptogenic stroke
tend to consider it positively, in light of the reported both procedural risk profile and …

Background The aim of this study is to provide a morphometric description of the left-sided
septal pouch (LSSP), left atrial accessory appendages, and diverticula using cardiac multi …

Background The atrial septal pouch (SP) is a new anatomical entity within the interatrial
septum. The left-sided SP may be the source of thrombus and contribute to ischemic stroke …

Background The atrial septal pouch is an anatomic variant of the interatrial septum. The
morphology of the left-sided septal pouch (LSSP) may favor blood stasis and predispose to …

Background and objectives Cryptogenic strokes can be defined by the criteria established
for an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Some embolic events might be …

The aim of this study is to compare the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
(2D-TEE) with multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and with autopsied material to …

An atrial septal pouch (ASP) results from partial fusion of the septum primum and the septum
secundum, and depending on the site of fusion, the pouch can be left‐sided (LASP) or right …

Objectives The atrial septal pouch was first recognised in humans in 2006 and, since 2010,
has been described in more detail. The first reports on the left-sided atrial septal pouch …
