Abstract

A 28‐year‐old man with patent foramen ovale and a prominent Eustachian valve with a history of transient ischemic attack underwent transcatheter closure using Amplatzer patent foramen ovale occluder. During deployment, some of the prominent valve tissue was entrapped on the delivery cable and a piece of the valve was extracted unintentionally. Anatomico‐clinical and technical implications are discussed. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;55:521–524. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
