Abstract Background  Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is recommended for patients presenting with PFO-related stroke. Acute high-grade conduction disturbances occurring during PFO closure procedure have not been previously reported. Case summary  We describe for the first time a case of reversible complete atrioventricular block which occurred during closure of a PFO. Discussion  We hypothesized that the block was the result of atrioventricular node compression—likely caused by the right-atrial disc of the 35-mm PFO closure device. We suggest implanting smaller devices in order to prevent atrioventricular conduction disturbances.

Transthoracic and transesophageal imaging of the 30-year-old patient who presented with palpitations and shortness of breath revealed flow from the aorta to the right atrium. Aortic-right atrial fistula, which is a rare anomaly, was evaluated. It was considered congenital, as there was no acquired cause. Since the patient was symptomatic, it was closed percutaneously with the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device.

Abstract Background  Creation of an iatrogenic aorto-right atrial fistula is a rare but clinically relevant complication of cardiac surgery. Transfemoral percutaneous closure is an attractive alternative to surgical repair, but there are no reports about transcatheter repair using a complete arm access. Case summary  We present the case of a 44-year-old woman with heart failure (NewYork Heart Association Class III) due to a longstanding iatrogenic fistula from the non-coronary aortic cusp to the right atrium (RA) with aorta to RA shunting and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) caused by mitral valve replacement 15 years ago. The patient was successfully treated by percutaneous closure with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II using complete brachial access. Following the procedure right heart chambers and TR decreased and symptoms resolved. Discussion  To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of percutaneous repair of an aorto-right atrial fistula using total arm accesses (radial artery and basilic vein). In appropriately selected patients, this approach is an attractive alternative to femoral access.

We present the case of a 27-year-old man who underwent percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) repair using the Amplatzer® (St Jude Medical, St Paul, MN, US) septal occluder (ASO). Six weeks later, he presented with heart failure and was found to have an aorto-right atrial fistulation. He required urgent surgical device explantation and repair of the existing ASD using a pericardial patch repair technique. This is the first case to be reported from the UK describing a delayed aorto-right atrial fistula following percutaneous closure using ASO.
