Abstract
Surgical closure of the LAA is often incomplete. Interrogation of the residual LAA after surgical LAA intervention with TEE before DCCV frequently detects thrombus and alters clinical management. Patients undergoing DCCV after surgical LAA intervention require evaluation with TEE for LAA patency and thrombus.
