It's also from Argentina and they talk about an "orejuela" as one of the anatomical landmarks of the left atrium. HTH.
Alvaro Aliaga Aug 23, 2007:
Isn't it ironic that Rita Tepper, a Cardiologist from Argentina, agreed with "orejuela izquierda"? Finally I have one more link that you should consider, check it out: http://www.unne.edu.ar/Web/cyt/cyt/2001/3-Medicas/M-037.pdf
Alvaro Aliaga Aug 23, 2007:
All the links that support your answer are from Argentina. Who knows, maybe "apéndice auricular izquierdo" is widely used there but certainly not here or in any of the books (from different Spanish-speaking countries), papers or review articles I've read.
Alvaro Aliaga Aug 23, 2007:
My dearest Liz: is not that I'm disagreeing with Dr. Arteaga but I first thought that "apéndice auricular izquierdo" was a copy from the English term and I swear to God that I never heard of the literal translation of LAA, the way you proposed.

Oops, sorry - I've now got there!La nueva técnica, denominada ‘Obliteración percutanea de la orejuela izquierda’, consiste en taponar la orejuela izquierda, un apéndice localizado en la aurícula izquierda del corazón, con el objeto de evitar los trombos que provocan accidentes cardiovasculares y que causan, por lo tanto, un gran número de muerte e ingresos hospitalarios.
liz askew Aug 22, 2007:
Appendage = apéndice. Aurícula = orejuela??

I think that brainfloss has missed out "appendage" in the translation?? Please correct me if I'm wrong: Anatomía cardíaca y funcionamiento del corazón - Monografias.com

trombo en la orejuela izquierda

In Spanish, is not necessary to say "orejuela AURICULAR izquierda" in full, it's a little redundant.

People with atrial fibrillation have an increased risk of stroke. Blood clots often
form in the left atrial appendage, which is a small sac off the left atrium.
These clots can travel in the blood to the brain, where they may block the
blood flow. Surgery to insert a special device that blocks the mouth of the left
atrial appendage may be a treatment option
