Device embolization is rare but potentially life-threatening, particularly when the occluder migrates into the left ventricle, where it may interfere with the mitral or aortic valve apparatus or provoke ventricular arrhythmia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 68-year-old woman with permanent atrial fibrillation, recurrent gross haematuria during anticoagulant therapy, chronic heart failure, and a high thromboembolic risk underwent LAAC under transoesophageal echocardiographic guidance. Pre-procedural imaging showed a left atrial appendage ostium of 30\u2005mm, a landing-zone diameter of 28\u2005mm, and a depth of 32\u2005mm. During the first deployment attempt with a 28-\/34-mm LAmbre occluder, the device showed insufficient anchoring and was not released. During attempted recapture and exchange, the partially deployed device embolized across the mitral valve into the left ventricular cavity, with a short self-terminating episode of ventricular tachycardia. Because the patient remained haemodynamically stable and real-time imaging showed no valvular entrapment or structural injury, retrograde transaortic percutaneous retrieval was performed using a 14-Fr steerable sheath and grasping forceps. After successful retrieval and immediate confirmation of valve integrity, a larger 32-\/36-mm LAmbre occluder was implanted in the same session with stable position and no residual peri-device leak.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case illustrated that, in carefully selected haemodynamically stable patients without valvular entrapment, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, or structural injury, retrograde transaortic percutaneous retrieval of a left-ventricularly embolized LAAC device may be feasible. The same-session redo LAAC can be considered after successful retrieval when valve integrity is confirmed and the left atrial appendage anatomy remains suitable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytag634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T08:10:56Z","timestamp":1788336656000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Retrograde transaortic percutaneous retrieval of a left-ventricularly embolized LAmbre occluder followed by same-session redo left atrial appendage closure: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Dengke","family":"Ou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Chengdu Fifth People\u2019s Hospital , No. 33 Mashi Street, Wenjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan 611100 ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3873-1034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, School of Clinical Medicine, North Sichuan Medical College, No. 234 Fujiang Road, Shunqing District, Nanchong, Sichuan 637000 ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3711-261X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingyang","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Chengdu Fifth People\u2019s Hospital , No. 33 Mashi Street, Wenjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan 611100 ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/j.carrev.2024.02.014","article-title":"Embolization of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure devices: timing, management and clinical outcomes","volume":"64","author":"Eppinger","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cardiovasc Revasc Med"},{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e70139","DOI":"10.1002\/joa3.70139","article-title":"Management of device embolization following left atrial appendage closure: two cases and a review of the literature","volume":"41","author":"Kivrak","year":"2025","journal-title":"J Arrhythmia"},{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"705","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2017.11.006","article-title":"Transseptal retrieval of dislodged left atrial appendage occlusion device from the left ventricle","volume":"11","author":"Saad","year":"2018","journal-title":"JACC Cardiovasc Interv"},{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2188","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcin.2017.06.072","article-title":"Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with the LAmbre device for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation","volume":"10","author":"Huang","year":"2017","journal-title":"JACC Cardiovasc Interv"},{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B5","first-page":"184","article-title":"EHRA\/EAPCI expert consensus statement on catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion\u2014an update","volume":"22","author":"Glikson","year":"2020","journal-title":"EP Eur"},{"key":"2026091700514971100_ytag634-B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"874","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.118.035090","article-title":"Device-related thrombus after left atrial appendage closure: incidence, predictors, and outcomes","volume":"138","author":"Dukkipati","year":"2018","journal-title":"Circulation"}],"container-title":["European Heart Journal -
