Successful New Generation LAA Closure Device Implantation After Prior Incomplete Surgical LAA Ligation

We present a case of percutaneous closure of a prior incomplete surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation after a failed closure attempt using the first-generation Watchman device.

Sumario:We present a case of percutaneous closure of a prior incomplete surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation after a failed closure attempt using the first-generation Watchman device. The new generation Watchman FLX device (Boston Scientific) was implanted in this technically and anatomically challenging LAA patient using multimodality fusion imaging. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
