Abstract

Left atrium is vulnerable to compression of the adjacent structures. Left atrium has close anatomic relationship with descending aorta. Thus; aneurysm, dissection, or abnormal course of descending aorta may lead to left atrial extrinsic compression. Manifestation may be either asymptomatic or symptomatic due to hemodynamic compromise. Transtorasic echocardiography is diagnostic modality of choice. Computed tomography may yield contributive and complementary data in addition to echocardiography. We present two cases of extrinsic left atrial compression by descending aorta, which are asymptomatic or resulting with hemodynamic compromise.

Özet

Sol atriyum, komşuluğundaki yapıların baskılarından kolaylıkla etkilenebilir. Sol atriyum, inen aorta ile yakın anatomik ilişki içerisindedir. Bu yüzden inen aortanın anevrizmaları, diseksiyonu veya anormal seyirli olması sol atriyum dış baskısına neden olabilir. Klinik tablo belirtisiz olabileceği gibi hemodinamik bozulmaya da neden olabilir. Sol atriyum baskısını tanımada transtorasik ekokardiyografi öncelikli seçenektir. Ekokardiyografinin yanı sıra bilgisayarlı tomografiyle yardımcı ve tamamlayıcı bilgi alınabilir. Bu makalede, inen aorta tarafından, hemodinamik bozulmayla sonuçlanan ve sonuçlanmayan iki sol atriyum dış baskısı olgusunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır
