Popis: Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening complication during left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. We report a 77-year-old woman who underwent a transseptal puncture for LAA closure with the Watchman device that was complicated by tamponade. This was successfully treated with the deployment of a Cardioform 25-mm septal occluder device. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
