Infective endocarditis of a left atrial appendage closure device: a case report and literature review.

Left atrial appendage occlusion device-associated endocarditis has rarely been reported. Due to the increase in LAA closure device implantation, device-associated endocarditis is expected to increase in the future. Transoesophageal echocardiography is required for correct diagnosis. Our case report suggests that an infection can occur long after implantation.
