Computed tomography angiogram of the pulmonary veins (Figures 1-3) and transesophageal echocardiogram (Figures 4 and 5) were ordered prior to the procedure as evaluations for the cardiac anatomy and to rule out intracardiac thrombi, which revealed she had no left atrial appendage.
CTA of the pulmonary veins at anteroposterior (AP) view showing there is no left atrial appendage.

Computed tomography angiogram of the pulmonary veins (Figures 1-3) and transesophageal echocardiogram (Figures 4 and 5) were ordered prior to the procedure as evaluations for the cardiac anatomy and to rule out intracardiac thrombi, which revealed she had no left atrial appendage.
Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) at aortic valve level, 19-degree angle midesophageal view shows the pulmonary vein but the absence of the left atrial appendage at the usual anatomical location marked with an asterisk (*).

TEE at 50 degrees angle midesophageal view showing the coumadin ridge and pulmonary vein (PV). Note that there is no left atrial appendage in the area marked with (*).
