Cardioform Septal Occluder in the Management of Cardiac Tamponade as a Complication of LAA Closure
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.
