[Early migration of the device for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect. Case report].
The transcatheter closure of the atrial septal defect (ASD) has been proposed as an alternative to surgical therapy for the ostium secundum ASD. It is considered an effective and safe procedure, although rare but potentially fatal complications have been reported. The authors report a case of early migration of a device for transcatheter closure of an ASD to the right pulmonary artery.
