Risk of Stroke and Thrombus Formation From Delay Incontinence of a PLAATO-Device in Friedreich Ataxia

1: Clin Cardiol. 2009 Apr 7. [Epub ahead of print]Risk of Stroke and Thrombus Formation From Delay Incontinence of a PLAATO-Device in Friedreich Ataxia.Stöllberger C, Finsterer J, Avanzini M, Mölzer G, Weidinger F.Second Medical Department, Krankenanstalt Rudofstiftung.We present the case of a 76-year-old female with suspected Friedreich ataxia, in whom leakage and thrombosis of a percutaneously implanted left atrial appendage occluder (PLAATO) was observed 2 years after implantation. Because of late developing leakages and thrombi, regular transesophageal echocardiographic examinations should be carried out in patients with occluded left atrial appendagaes. In view of these complications and the potential important hemodynamic role of the left atrial appendage, the benefit of its occlusion is questionable, and the indications of PLAATO should be strongly reconsidered.
