  • Title: Transcatheter Retrieval of Embolized Atrial Septal Defect Occluder Device by Waist Capture Technique.
    Author: Her AY, Lim KH, Shin ES.
    Journal: Int Heart J; 2018 Jan 27; 59(1):226-228. PubMed ID: 29279534.
    Abstract:
    This case study describes the successful percutaneous transcatheter retrieval of an embolized Amplatzer occluder device using the "waist capture technique" in a patient with an atrial septal defect. This technique allowed for stability of the Amplatzer device, compression of the atrial discs for easier removal, prevention of further embolization, and minimal injury to vasculature during device retrieval. This novel and effective technique can be used safely for the retrieval of Amplatzer devices in the venous system.
