Fourteen patients had an unfavorable septal morphology for device closure. Ten devices were embolized in the catheter laboratory, five in the intensive care unit, and two in the ward. The devices were embolized to almost all chambers of the heart and great vessels. One patient had an inferior vena cava rim tear while attempting percutaneous retrieval. One patient required a short period of total circulatory arrest (TCA) for retrieval of the device from ascending aorta, while another required a lateral position for retrieval from descending aorta. One patient required re-exploration for bleeding, while another had an air embolism and succumbed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Once embolization occurs, the risks associated increase manifold. Most of the surgical extractions are uneventful; however, there could be certain complications that may need repair of valvular apparatus, the institution of TCA, or the need for the lateral position. Air embolization though very rare can occur which could be fatal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/aca.aca_28_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]],"date-time":"2023-06-20T03:00:46Z","timestamp":1687230046000},"page":"149-154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Atrial Septal Defect Occluder Device Embolization: Experience of a Tertiary Care Cardiac Center"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Sandeep","family":"Garre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shrinivas","family":"Gadhinglajkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anaesthesia, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rupa","family":"Sreedhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anaesthesia, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.M","family":"Krishnamoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vivek V.","family":"Pillai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240901","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E32","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.107.3.e32","article-title":"Racial and temporal variations in the prevalence of heart defects","volume":"107","author":"Botto","year":"2001","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"R2-20240901","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2506","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1976.03260490024013","article-title":"Secundum atrial septal defect.
