Abstract
Sheath- and catheter-associated thrombi have become increasingly identified with the use of intracardiac echocardiography during left-sided ablation procedures. Despite adequate anticoagulation, these thrombi are found in ∼10% of cases. Management of these thrombi includes withdrawal of the sheath and catheter when the thrombi are felt to be firmly attached. In our case, we show another management technique, aspiration.
