N2 - Despite the unprecedented advances in the left atrial appendage occlusion field, device-related thrombus (DRT) remains an unresolved issue with the therapy. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review of the literature on the incidence, clinical impact, predictors and management of DRT and propose a novel classification of DRT and hypoattenuated thickening.
