title: Severe tricuspid stenosis during percutaneous occlusion of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with the new Amplatzer device.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The new Amplatzer device has been used with success for occlusion of the perimembranous ventricular septal defects and the index of complications is very low.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The reported case corresponds to a very rare severe acute tricuspid stenosis, caused by adherence of the prosthesis to the anterior tricuspid leaflet.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Device release was achieved by manipulation on the tricuspid apparatus.
