Abstract

Transcatheter device closure has emerged as the preferred treatment for ostium secundum atrial septal defects with adequate margins, occasionally requiring surgical intervention to manage complications. We report a case of a young female patient who presented with systemic desaturation and exertional dyspnoea 5 years after device closure. Evaluation demonstrated anterior malposition of the septal occluder, with the right atrial rim of the device diverting the blood from the inferior vena cava to the left atrium. She underwent surgical extraction of the device and pericardial patch closure of the atrial septal defect.
