Incomplete Left Atrial Appendage Closure Successfully Treated With a Redo Procedure
2020, Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine
Citation Excerpt :
Another case of incomplete LAAC leading to thrombus formation and stroke, treated with a second successful procedure was described by Lam et al. [5]. Other LAAC procedures, successfully managed with intentional implantation of two devices in very difficult anatomies, have been described [6,7]. In our case, the device previously positioned appeared too deeply engaged inside the LAA.
A 68 year's old man with permanent atrial fibrillation, underwent a left atrial appendage closure because of high bleeding risk. However, after one month, an incomplete occlusion of the left atrial appendage due to a too deep position of the device, was detected by a transesophageal echocardiogram. Considering the residual high risk of thrombi formation, a new different device was successfully implanted with a correct closure of the appendage.
