Dislodged Amplatzer septal occluder in right ventricle, interesting echocardiographic and surgical images

There are surgical and percutaneous interventional strategies to treat ASD, each with its own advantages and inevitable drawbacks too. Here, we described a case of large size secundum type ASD (30 mm x 31 mm) that first underwent percutaneous closure with ASD Amplatzer device number 33. The day after the procedure, although the patient was asymptomatic, on follow-up echocardiography, it was found that the device was embolized into the right ventricle within Moderator Bands. Hence, the cardiac surgery was performed.
