Device related thrombosis(DRT)has been considered as an important complication of left atrial appendage occlusion(LAAO),and is related to the increased incidence of postoperative stroke.Older age,history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA),maximum diameter of left atrial appendage,decreased left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),non paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are increased risk of DRT after LAAO.However,there are still different opinions on the predictive factors of DRT.This paper reviews the current re-searches about predictive factors of DRT.
