Resumen
ZUNIGA LUNA, Mauricio et al. Very late erosion of the right atrium with Amplatzer® device. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2016, vol.86, n.3, pp.271-275. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2016.04.006.
Late atrial wall and aorta erosion is a rare cause of potential fatallity in patients who have undergone percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect, especially when a high ratio device to defect is chosen, and an insufficient aortic rim is present. We report the case of a 70 year old male with an episode of hemodinamic collapse secondary to cardiac tamponade due to a late erosion of a 4 years ago implanted Amplatzer® used to close an atrial septal defect.
Conclusion
Very late wall erosion of an atrial septal closure device, although uncommon, should be suspected in patients presenting with hemodynamic collapse.
