摘要：

We report a case of incomplete left atrial appendage (LAA) closure after Watchman device (Atritech, Boston Scientific, Natrick, MA) implantation which subsequently developed a thrombus 3 years after the initial procedure. The thrombus resolved after a short period of anticoagulation with warfarin, and the LAA was successfully occluded with a second-generation Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (Amulet device, AGA, St Jude Medical, Minneapolis, MN). Incomplete LAA closure may be associated with increased risk of thrombus formation and further closure with a second device after a course of anticoagulation may be a reasonable and feasible strategy.
