Percutaneous extraction of a large device-related thrombus on a Watchman™ device: a case report.
Rhea VyasCassidy KohlerAshish PershadPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2021)
Percutaneous thrombectomy can be safely performed to extract large left atrial occlusion DRT that require urgent management, without any neurologic sequelae. We believe this can be used in patients with a large DRT who would not be adequately managed with anticoagulation and in whom surgery is not feasible.
