Percutaneous ASD Closure Device Migration to the Pulmonary Artery: Retrieval of the Device and ASD Repair
Duman ZM. Percutaneous ASD Closure Device Migration to the Pulmonary Artery: Retrieval of the Device and ASD Repair. November 2025. doi:10.25373/ctsnet.30593774
In this video, the authors present an urgent case of atrial septal defect (ASD) in a young patient. The percutaneous ASD closure device migrated into the main pulmonary artery, creating a life-threatening situation. The surgeons performed emergency surgery to carefully remove the device and reconstruct the pulmonary artery using a Dacron patch, followed by the successful closure of the ASD.
This case highlights the challenges of device migration, the importance of timely surgical intervention, and advanced techniques in cardiovascular surgery.
Watch as the authors walk through each step of the procedure, from device removal to defect repair, with detailed explanations of the surgical techniques and patient safety measures.
