Sumario:Over the last few years, a vast variety of devices have been developed to close various septal defects through the transcatheter route. Haemolysis has been documented after Amplatzer device closure of patent ductus arteriousus, atrial septal defect, and ventricular septal defect. We report one patient with self-limiting haemolysis after implantation of an Amplatzer perimembranous VSD device.
