Abstract
- Percutaneous device closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) has become a definite therapy in selected patients. However the more transcatheter device was implanted, the more complication was developed. Especially, the device embolization remains a major complication requiring immediate intervention. We report a case of a displaced ASD occluder in the ascending aorta. We were successfully removed the device through a total circulatory arrest and closed the ASD.
