It was reported that thrombosis occurred.A left atrial appendage (laa) closure procedure was being performed, and a 27mm watchman flx pro closure device was selected to be used.During the procedure, after deployment of the closure device, a mobile thrombus was noted inside the closure device but seemed to be biased towards the mitral annulus or posterior side of the appendage.The closure device was proximal, but safe to leave, so was evaluated for position, anchor, size and seal (pass) criteria which was met and was released.The patient's activated clotting time (act) was greater than 400 during the procedure and was taken five (5) minutes after the second dose of heparin.Half of the heparin was administrated prior to transseptal and the other half after transeptal.
