Popis:	A secundum atrial septal defect is the most common congenital heart defect. Transcatheter treatment of secundum atrial septal defects is a popular and less invasive alternative to surgery. Procedural complications may occur in a wide spectrum, particularly device embolus as the most emergent one, but luckily they do not commonly occur in the clinical setting. Mortality from adverse events related to transcatheter treatment strategies is twentyfold higher than that of primary elective surgical closure. Here, we report an Amplatzer device embolus in a secundum atrial septal defect patient. The device was successfully removed with surgery, postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 5th postoperative day.
