Intra-operative picture after device embolization in a 9-year-old child with moderate atrial septal defect showing the complete absence of tissue (arrow) between the inferior vena cava (where the inferior vena cava is cannulated) and the defect. The device was initially well-positioned but embolization probably occurred after the device slipped toward the inferior vena cava because of the absence of any rim.
