Abstract
The Nitinol coil system was recently developed by “PFM” specifically for the transcatheter occlusion of ventricular septal defects (VSD). The device consists of a coil fitted with polyester fibers designated for the closure of perimembranous defects with an aneurysmal septum and some muscular VSDs. We report a case of fatal acute infective endocarditis 10 days following the procedure.
Keywords: Infective endocarditis; PFM coil; ventricular septal defect.
