| Popis: | The angiographic features of four cases of left-sided juxtaposition and one case of right-sided juxtaposition of the atrial appendages are described. The anomalous appendage was cephalad and dorsal to the normal position of the left atrial appendage and was larger than normal during atrial diastole; the appendage located on the anatomically correct side was caudad and its diastolic size was less than normal. The four cases of left-sided juxtaposition were all associated with transposition of the great vessels. Right-sided juxtaposition was detected inadvertently in a patient with a congenital obstructive lesion of the mitral valve. Left-sided juxtaposition can be demonstrated angiocardiographically by opacification of the right atrium, whereas right-sided juxtaposition can be seen by contrast injection into any cardiac chamber but the left ventricle, with certain exceptions. |
