Atrial septal defect occluder device embolization: Experience of a tertiary care cardiac center

CONCLUSIONS: Once embolization occurs, the risks associated increase manifold. Most of the surgical extractions are uneventful; however, there could be certain complications that may need repair of valvular apparatus, the institution of TCA, or the need for the lateral position. Air embolization though very rare can occur which could be fatal.PMID:37706378 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_28_22
