Abstract
A case is described of the inadvertent embolization of an Amplatzer duct occluder in the descending aorta in a 10‐year‐old girl. It was possible to snare the device and bring it in its normal position in the aortic ductus ampulla. With a second snare, the recessed screw of the device could be caught and the device was successfully pulled back into the ductus. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;59:83–85. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
