Pseudo-migration after left atrial appendage occlusion is caused by TTE limitations and can be prevented by awareness and confirmatory imaging to avoid misdiagnosis.
Awareness of pseudo-migration after LAAO due to TTE limitations and the use of confirmatory imaging can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.

Pseudo-migration after LAAO is a newly described phenomenon caused by TTE limitations in specific appendage anatomies. Awareness of this pitfall and reliance on confirmatory imaging may prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.
