Percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic right ventricular perforation with an angio-seal vascular closure device: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iatrogenic perforation of the right ventricle (RV) is a rare but recognized complication of pericardiocentesis. Treatment strategies for RV perforation include surgical repair and percutaneous closure. In this case report, we describe the use of an angio-seal vascular closure device (Terumo Interventional Systems) to seal an iatrogenic RV perforation secondary to incorrect placement of a pericardial drain.
