Complications
Complications associated with percutaneous closure include:
- Device embolization
- Malposition of device
- Device erosion
- Atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia
- Transient antrioventricular block/heart block
- Pericardial effusion
- Thrombus formation (on the left atrial appendage)
- Iliac vein dissection
- Groin hematoma
- Cardiac perforation
- Increased levels of cardiac tropnin I
- Residual shunts
Frequency of complications is low, manifesting in under 9% of all cases. With experienced, skilled clinicians, the rate of complication may be as low as 1%.[1]
