Abstract

Transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure has proven to be an effective method to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in patients who have nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) that is unsuitable for chronic oral anticoagulation. In this case report, we describe the rare case of a late LAA occluder (28-mm Amplatzer cardiac plug) embolization, which was treated uneventfully with interventional device capture. Special interventional and device specific characteristics must be taken into account when planning such a complex procedure as descirbed in our case.
