Histopathological workup of an Amplatzer atrial septal defect occluder after surgical removal

We present results of the histopathological work-up of an atrial septal defect occluder that was explanted 15 months after interventional implantation due to a significant residual shunt. Complete endothelialization of the surface and a mild inflammatory reaction was demonstrated.
