Acute Device-Related Thrombus Elimination During Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair Via Vacuum Catheter Aspiration.

ABSTRACT: We describe a rare complication of intraprocedural spontaneous thrombus formation on a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MitraClip; Abbott Laboratories) device in a hypercoagulable yet adequately anticoagulated patient. We also outline the novel use of a vacuum (Penumbra) aspiration system, which resulted in rapid and effective thrombus elimination.
