Abstract:

Device-induced embolization is a potential complication of every attempted atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) plays an important role in diagnosing ASD and guiding the closure procedure. We report a rare complication of silent embolization of an ASD occlusion that occurred 3 months after a hybrid technique was used to repair the aortic valve.

Key words: Embolization; Atrial septal defect device closure; Hybrid device technique; Transesophageal echocardiography
