Abstract:

Embolization of a device in patients undergoing percutaneous left atrial appendage closure is an uncommon complication. We present an illustrative case of successful percutaneous retrieval of an embolized LAmbre device (Lifetech Scientiﬁc, Shenzhen, China) that was achieved with a combination of a snaring technique and forceps grasping and by using a steerable guiding catheter. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords:

ACT, activated clotting time AF, atrial fibrillation LA, left atrium LAA, left atrial appendage LAmbre device TEE, transesophageal echocardiography complication device embolization snaring technique

Cardiac Catheterization II: Right Heart Catheterization

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...
