Spontaneous Left Atrial Thrombus Formation on the Catheter Delivery System During WATCHMAN Implantation

Abstract

We present a rare complication of spontaneous thrombus formation on the WATCHMAN delivery system, on both the right- and left-sided systemic circulation. We also describe the multidisciplinary team approach and the use of percutaneous vacuum-assisted aspiration system (AngioVac, AngioDynamics, Latham, New York) for successful thrombus removal. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
