Successful percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic right ventricular perforation utilizing an Angio-Seal device: a case report

Pericardiocentesis, while crucial for treating large pericardial effusions, carries a small risk of complications such as ventricular perforation. Although surgery is a cornerstone in management, the Angio-Seal device has been used successfully in some cases to repair these tears. In this case, an Angio-Seal device effectively closed a RV rupture, with no further complication seen in follow-up exams. This suggests Angio-Seal as a potentially useful, less invasive option for treating such complications.
