I was always taught that an LA appendage thrombus was a relative contraindication to PTMC, whereas a thrombus in the LA proper was an absolute contraindication. And in the US today, we could also use Sentinel.

Have sev cases now . @AnkurSethi2021 Classic low flow state with CGS. Timely pmbc is key. Oftentimes too little too late esp when shock with MOF settles in. Much like CGS in critical AS pts. Soo many salvage bav pts don't survive when in frank shock.

I did the same when I was in the US until August last year. Never did a TSP without TEE and used bayliss. I've moved to Pakistan since. We do about 500 ptmcs a year. TEE is not cost effective and I've had to learn the "traditional" way. It has worked out fine.
