Abstract:
Left atrium appendage closure is a safe and effective therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation and high thromboembolic and hemorrhagic risks. Prosthesis embolization is a potential major complication with an incidence of 0.07%. We report a case of migration of an Amplatzer Amulet (Abbott) device that was successfully retrieved in an innovative way (4).
