Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the fourth most common congenital heart disease in the world. It was treated with surgical closure with the help of CPB in the earlier days. Now there are two approaches available, open surgery under CPB and transcatheter closure. Here we are going to present late complication of transcatheter closure of ASD.
