Late free atrial wall rupture after percutaneous atrial septal defect closure and transvenous pacemaker implantation
1Department of Cardiology, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Abstract:
We report a remarkable case of right atrial rupture, 3 years after transcatheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect, and 7 months after permanent transvenous two-chamber pacemaker implantation. The etiology of the rupture remains unclear, but the presence of the two intracardiac devices is probably not coincidental.
