Left atrial clot formation is a feared complication of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. We report a case of left atrial thrombus that formed around the circular mapping catheter before the delivery of RF. Successful retrieval of the clot was obtained by withdrawing the catheters while protecting the anterior cerebral circulation by positioning temporary carotid artery filters.
左心房血栓形成是心房颤动导管消融术令人担忧的并发症。我们报告一例在射频消融前围绕环形标测导管形成左心房血栓的病例。通过回撤导管成功取出了血栓，同时通过放置临时颈动脉滤器保护大脑前循环。
