It was reported that on (b)(6) 2025, a 9mm amplatzer septal occluder was chosen for implant using a 7f amplatzer trevisio delivery system.During the procedure, while releasing the implant in the heart, the left atrial disc did not conform to its desired shape and instead took the shape of a cobra.The implant was removed from the heart and checked again, but the left atrial disc still did not conform to its desired shape.The deformed device was never released from the delivery cable.There was no interaction with the cardiac structures during deployment and no angulation/kink were noticed in the delivery system.The procedure was completed using an 8 mm amplatzer septal occluder.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.There was no clinically significant delay in procedure and no adverse patient effects.
