However, hemolysis related to transcathetor closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PMIVSD) is infrequent. A close follow-up for spontaneous resolution with or without blood transfusion has been reported in a few cases. Occasionally, surgical retrieval is unavoidable or lifelong blood transfusion is required if surgery cannot be done because of higher risk. In this illustration, we have showed a close follow-up of a case of hemolysis induced by atrial septal occluder used for VSD closure after myocardial infarction. Despite successful device closure of PMIVSD which is difficult, a close watch is needed for complications like residual leak, dIndian heart journalS60-S63https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5067760biostudies-literatureHemolysis induced by PMIVSD occluder.PMC5067760Siva Prasad ARao DSBarik RfalseHemolysis induced by PMIVSD occluder.Hemolysis related to occluder, prosthetic valve, and prosthetic ring used for mitral valve annuloplasty are not very unusual.
