Closure went smoothly and device position was confirmed by Minnesota wiggle technique then by 2D Echocardiogram after device deployment (Fig. 1). Sixteen weeks later on clinic follow up, Chest X ray showed ASD device projecting over upper mediastinum (Fig. 1). 2D Echocardiography showed embolization of ASD device into main pulmonary artery (Figs. 2 and 3).
Subcostal view in 2D electrocardiogram demonstrate atrial septal defect device still attached to the catheter (red arrow) in proper position.
