  • Title: Metal allergy to Amplatzer occluder device presented as severe bronchospasm.
    Author: Khodaverdian RA, Jones KW.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Dec; 88(6):2021-2. PubMed ID: 19932286.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect has become increasingly popular among interventional cardiologists. With this relatively new technology being more widespread, it is important to acknowledge any device-related complications. We report a case of severe bronchospasm secondary to a metal allergy after an atrial septal defect device closure requiring device removal.
