LAAODE is common with a reported incidence of 2% in our study. Post-operative device embolization occurred more frequently and was associated with a higher rate of complications than intraoperative device embolizations. Understanding the timings and clinical sequelae of DE can aid physicians with post procedural follow-up and also in the selection of patients for these procedures.
