Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device

Case 16

This radiograph demonstrates a malpositioned enteric tube which is looped in the oropharynx/hypopharynx. There are a number of incidental findings including an appropriately positioned endotracheal tube, a loop recorder projecting over the left chest wall, postsurgical changes of sternotomy with a prosthetic aortic valve, and a Watchman left atrial appendage occlusion device which is difficult to see on the default window and level. The lung volumes are low overall with some linear subsegmental atelectasis in the left lung base.
