Sequence of events
BackgroundPercutaneous closure of ASD several years before
PresentationDyspnoea with mild efforts (NYHA Class III) and right heart failure
Diagnostic testsTransthoracic echocardiogram (TTE): significant left-to-right shunt and device misalignment
transoesophageal echo (TEE): anterosuperior device protrusion into the right atrium, rest of the device correctly anchored
DecisionPercutaneous closure with a new device through a transjugular access
ProcedureA Figulla Flex II PFO 27/30 mm device was implanted partially overlapped with the prior one
Imaging3D-TEE guidance confirms correct position and a trace residual shunt
Follow upSymptoms resolution (NYHA Class I) and stable device position
