Intravenous fluid administration to rule out migration of Amplatzer septal occluder

Abstract

A 22-year-old woman with a history of closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with 22mm Amplatzer septal occluding device in 2002 presented for a follow-up transthoracic echocardiography. The diagnosis was made when a heart murmur was detected at the age of 13 and transthoracic echocardiography performed at that stage demonstrated a large secundum ASD with a left to right shunt causing dilatation of the right atrium and right ventricle. She remained asymptomatic after the procedure. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a normal sized right ventricle with preserved right ventricular function.
