title: Surgical removal of a migrated duct occluder device from the right pulmonary artery without cardiopulmonary bypass.
abstract: As the use of percutaneous intervention is increasing for closure of the patent ductus arteriosus, procedure-related complications are also on the rise. An Amplatzer duct occluder used in a 4-year-old child was dislodged into the right pulmonary artery. It was removed through median sternotomy by temporarily occluding the right pulmonary artery.
