Article Synopsis
  • This report discusses a rare but serious complication of iatrogenic right ventricular perforation that occurred during a procedure called pericardial paracentesis.
  • Following an unsuccessful attempt to drain the pericardial fluid, a successful closure of the perforation was accomplished using an Angio-Seal vascular closure device, stopping the bleeding and stabilizing the patient’s condition.
  • The case emphasizes the effectiveness of the Angio-Seal device in managing complications related to pericardial interventions, showcasing its importance in complex medical situations.

Background: Iatrogenic perforation of the right ventricle (RV) is a rare but recognized complication of pericardiocentesis. Treatment strategies for RV perforation include surgical repair and percutaneous closure. In this case report, we describe the use of an angio-seal vascular closure device (Terumo Interventional Systems) to seal an iatrogenic RV perforation secondary to incorrect placement of a pericardial drain.

Iatrogenic common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is a well-known vascular access complication of angiography and transfemoral intervention. Thrombin injection is a well-accepted technique in treating these pseudoaneurysms but possess a significant risk of distal lower extremity thrombosis leading to severe consequences. Several case reports described the novel approach to closing these pseudoaneurysms via a retrograde deployment of an Angio-Seal vascular closure device.
