title: Early migration of an Amplatzer muscular ventricular septal defect occluder device causing severe tricuspid valve obstruction.
abstract: Percutaneous closure of perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defects is becoming well established worldwide. We present the case of a 15-year-old girl with postoperative tetrology of Fallot and a residual ventricular septal defect that was closed with Amplatzer device complicated by early device migration and severe tricuspid valve obstruction.
