Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Importantly, a left atrial thrombus was depicted during follow-up, either with transesophageal echocardiography or with computed tomography, in 4 patients. [...]late leaks appeared to occur in a considerable proportion of patients (6% >5 mm leak, 14% <5 mm leak). The current paper draws a considerably different picture than previously published single-center studies, which reported significantly lower complication rates (9,10).\n Similarly, imaging follow-up was performed in fewer than one-half of the patients. [...]we do not have a complete overview of the medium-term results of the procedure.
