Significant hemolysis is a recognized complication of transcatheter high-velocity shunt occlusion using some Amplatzer devices. We describe a case of severe hemolysis following occlusion of an iatrogenic Gerbode defect with an Amplatzer muscular ventricular septal defect occluder successfully managed by transcatheter device removal and reocclusion with a Gore Cardioform Atrial Septal Defect Occluder.
