Abstract
A middle-aged woman with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refractory to pharmacological treatment was referred for catheter ablation. During the procedure, a left atrial thrombus was visualized within the left atrium attached to a transseptal sheath. In our case we used a different approach for extraction of thrombus.
