Özet

While atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart disease in children, it is the most common congenital heart disease in adults. Percutaneous closure of ASD with 32 mm Amplatzer septal occluder was performed to a 63-year-old female patient. One hour after the percutaneous intervention, atrial arrhythmias were detected, and echocardiographic examination showed migration of the ASD closure device into right atrium. In this article, we report the successful surgical treatment and anesthetic management of the migration of ASD closure device into right atrium after percutaneous ASD closure procedure.
