Table 2 Literature review of cardiovascular magnetic resonance used in the assessment of right atrial appendage aneurysms
Paper | CMR parametersa | Description of aneurysm |
|---|---|---|
Contreras et al. [18] | Steady-state free precession | None provided |
Corti et al. [12] | Turbo field-echo movie reconstruction | Dimensions: 7 × 5 × 3.5 cm 2.8 cm ostium Right ventricular compression Systo-diastolic filling of the mass consistent with right atrial filling |
Duran et al. [21] | Not specified | Dimensions: 2.5 × 1.5 cm over the tricuspid valve Neck: 11 mm No thrombus |
Guaricci et al. [10] | Not specified | Above tricuspid valve, overlapping with the RV and outflow tract with pulmonary artery |
Gulati et al. [15] | Cine imaging using balanced steady-state free precession sequence | Mild tricuspid regurgitation Noncontractile, smooth-walled, pyramidal RAA extending anterior to the body of the right atrium Partially separated from the main atrial chamber by a membrane Right atrial volume 118 mL/m2 Mild distortion of the RV but no compression |
Le Ven et al. [22] | Not specified | None provided |
Sondhi et al. [17] | Not specified | Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart and vessels confirmed the connection of the aneurysm to the RAA and also showed slight compression of the descending thoracic aorta by aneurysm |
