Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 69-year-old man presented at 10 weeks postimplantation with a 31-mm Watchman FLX migrating into the left atrium. Due to incomplete left atrial appendage seal and embolization risk, transcatheter device extraction was performed without complications. Herein we describe the technique and procedural steps, using cardiac computed tomography and benchtop models to guide practice.
