Abstract
Percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect has become increasingly popular among interventional cardiologists. With this relatively new technology being more widespread, it is important to acknowledge any device-related complications. We report a case of severe bronchospasm secondary to a metal allergy after an atrial septal defect device closure requiring device removal.
