Key Result

Transcatheter retrieval successfully removed a left atrial appendage occlusion device that sequentially embolized to the mitral apparatus, left ventricle, and aorta.

Key Points

  • This case aims to describe the complications arising from a left atrial appendage occlusion device placement and its retrieval.
  • Presentation of a case involving device embolization
  • Use of a transcatheter approach for retrieval
  • Intervention involving the left atrial appendage, mitral apparatus, left ventricle, and aorta
  • The occlusion device successfully embolized to multiple heart structures
  • The device was effectively retrieved without additional complications

Transcatheter retrieval is a feasible approach for managing a sequentially embolized left atrial appendage occlusion device.

Abstract

We present a case of a left atrial appendage occlusion device placement complicated by device embolization to the mitral apparatus, left ventricle, and then aorta, which was successfully retrieved via a transcatheter approach.
