Popis: Clots can form on the left atrial surface of left atrial appendage closure devices, with subsequent thromboembolization. However, we are unaware of any reports of clots forming on the devices immediately after deployment. We report a case where an acute thrombus strand formed at the tip of an occlusion device immediately after deployment. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
