We report the case of a man affected by non-valvular atrial fibrillation in whom a severely enlarged left atrial appendage with a narrow neck was successfully closed with a 34 mm Amplatzer Amulet device (St. Jude Medical). In the presence of a huge appendage with a narrow neck, as in this case, the Amulet should be considered an available option to ensure the feasibility of percutaneous closure.

Abstract
We report the case of a man affected by non-valvular atrial fibrillation in whom a severely enlarged left atrial appendage with a narrow neck was successfully closed with a 34 mm Amplatzer Amulet device (St. Jude Medical). In the presence of a huge appendage with a narrow neck, as in this case, the Amulet should be considered an available option to ensure the feasibility of percutaneous closure.
