Surgical Removal of an Atrial Septal Occluder Device Embolized to the Main Pulmonary Artery

Abstract: Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects in adults has emerged as an alternative to surgery. We report a sequela of such closure in a 16-year-old boy: embolization of the atrial septal defect occluder into the main pulmonary artery when the patient experienced an episode of intense coughing immediately after device deployment. We removed the device surgically and closed the atrial septal defect in a standard manner, with an autologous pericardial patch.

“…In our study, 34 (97.1%) patients had successful procedural outcomes. The one patient with an unsuccessful procedural outcome was referred to surgical repair [ 23 , 24 ]. At first, the 44–48 mm domestic occluder was utilized in a few selected patients in our center who had adequate rims of their defect, using the transthoracic method.…”

“…ASD'lerin perkütan ya da cerrahi olarak kapatılması ile ilişkili mortalite oranlarının birbirine yakın olmasına karşın perkütan kapatmanın insizyon skarı oluşumundan kaçınılması, cerrahi morbiditenin ve hastanede kalış süresinin azaltılması gibi çeşitli avantajları vardır (3) . Ancak perkütan ASD kapatmanın da kendine özgü ve cerrahi müdahale gerektirebilen komplikasyonları bulunmaktadır.…”

“…Cihazın pulmoner dolaşıma embolizasyonu pulmoner kan akımının azalması ile sağ ventrikülde akut basınç artışı ve hacim yük-lenmesi oluşturabilir (5) . Klinikte öksürük, göğüs kafesinde sıkışma gibi nonspesifik semptomlar görülebilmekle birlikte literatürdeki bir çok olgu sunumunda hastaların asemptomatik oldukları bildirilmiştir (2,3,7) . Embolize olan cihazın potansiyel olarak pulmoner arterde erozyon oluşturarak ölümcül kanamaya yol açma riski bulunmaktadır ve vakit geçirilmeden çıkar-tılması önerilmektedir (8) .…”

“…[2] The other suggested mechanisms of acute failure are as follows: operator-related failure resulting from inadequate experience (learning curve), inaccurate placement, inadequate defect rim to hold the device, tearing of the interatrial septum, at the lower rim of the ASD during catheter, particularly, and device manipulation. [3] According to Boysan et al [4] coughing may be an interesting reason for device embolization.…”
