Description
Dengke Ou, Jie Song, and Mingyang Tang report a case where a heart device slipped into the wrong chamber and was retrieved in the same session, in a 2026 case report. Closing the left atrial appendage is a stroke-prevention option for patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood thinners long term. In rare cases the device comes loose and moves, which can be life-threatening. In this case it landed in the left ventricle.
The patient was a sixty-eight-year-old woman with lasting fibrillation, heavy bleeding on blood thinners, chronic heart failure, and high stroke risk. Imaging showed a wide appendage opening. On the first try, the device did not anchor well. The team retrieved it through the aorta by catheter and then redid the closure in the same session.
