• Watchman device buckling is a previously undescribed deployment complication. • Both 2D and 3D TEE assist in detection of buckling during and after the procedure. • Challenging LAA anatomy may play a significant role in buckling risk. • An acute angle between the deployment catheter and the LAA ostium may confer risk. • With diligent TEE guidance, buckling may be corrected during the procedure.
• 观察哨装置弯曲是一种先前未描述过的植入并发症。
• 二维和三维经食管超声心动图(TEE)有助于在手术期间及术后检测弯曲情况。
• 具有挑战性的左心耳(LAA)解剖结构可能在弯曲风险中起重要作用。
• 植入导管与LAA开口之间的锐角可能带来风险。
• 在认真的TEE引导下,手术过程中弯曲情况可能得到纠正。
