Percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic right ventricular perforation with an angio-seal vascular closure device: a case report.

Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
Our patient did not demonstrate any recurrence of pericardial effusion on repeat echocardiography over 60 days post-procedure. We feel that the angio-seal vascular closure device represents an effective, minimally invasive treatment for this rare but potentially catastrophic complication of pericardiocentesis. In this case, the technique spared our patient a sternotomy with its associated morbidity.
