Embolización de dispositivos de cierre de la orejuela izquierda: revisión de la evidencia disponible

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure has emerged as a promising procedure for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation with a very high or prohibitive bleeding risk. It is a safe technique, with a low rate of complications; however, complications, such as device embolization can be potentially serious, and decision-making as well as selecting the most appropriate strategy may be challenging due to the limited evidence available in this context. This review provides an overview of the most critical aspects of left atrial appendage closure device embolization focusing on its prevalence, management strategies, and treatment options.
