  • What caused the pulmonary embolization? Just poor deployment of the device? Pulling too hard during implant and deforming the device? Tricky anatomy? Device failure?

  • @hoffm426 Actually, I think the device was a little bit smaller than the defect. The defect was measured as 3 cm in diameter, but I think it was larger than this. The device was 4 cm in diameter at the edges of the umbrellas. So, 1-2 mm of excess of the rim did not suffice for the device to remain in place.
