# Left atrial appendage closure in a patient previously implanted with an interatrial shunt device: a case report

## TL;DR

This case report describes the first successful left atrial appendage closure in a patient who previously had an interatrial shunt device implanted.

## Contribution

This is the first reported case of left atrial appendage closure in a patient with a prior interatrial shunt device.

## Key findings

- A patient with a previously implanted interatrial shunt device successfully underwent left atrial appendage closure.
- The procedure was performed using the LAmbre device without complications.

## Abstract

Patients with previous interatrial shunt device (IASD) implantation may face greater challenges during future left atrial interventional procedures. Herein, we report the first case of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in a patient with previous IASD implantation. The patient successfully underwent LAAC using the LAmbre device without complications.
