TI  - Risk of stroke and thrombus formation from delay incontinence of a PLAATO-device 
      in Friedreich ataxia.

AB  - We present the case of a 76-year-old female with suspected Friedreich ataxia, in 
      whom leakage and thrombosis of a percutaneously implanted left atrial appendage 
      occluder (PLAATO) was observed 2 years after implantation. Because of late 
      developing leakages and thrombi, regular transesophageal echocardiographic 
      examinations should be carried out in patients with occluded left atrial 
      appendages. In view of these complications and the potential important 
      hemodynamic role of the left atrial appendage, the benefit of its occlusion is 
      questionable, and the indications of PLAATO should be strongly reconsidered.
