Abstract
Cardiac perforation after transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale is a very rare complication. We report a case of left atrial wall perforation and aortic root erosion occurring 16 months after implantation of an Amplatzer patent foramen ovale occluder that required emergent surgery. © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.File in questo prodotto:
