CTICasesAmplatzer Plug for Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect
Imaging findings
Frontal and lateral chest radiographs demonstrate a metallic, double-disc occluder device (Amplatzer plug) projected anteriorly and inferiorly in relation to the heart, corresponding to the expected position of the interventricular septum.
Key takeaways
Familiarity with the appearance and anatomical location of various cardiovascular devices, such as an Amplatzer septal occluder used to close a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD), is essential to avoid misinterpreting them as foreign bodies or other pathology on routine radiographs.
