With the introduction of technological improvements, invasive cardiologic interventions have become increasingly used alternatives to surgery. Despite its numerous benefits, serious and potentially life-threatening complications of invasive cardiology interventions may occur. Herein, we report a case who developed two different complications due to an invasive cardiology intervention at different times. One of them was device embolization after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect and the other was right ventricle perforation due to late pericardial tamponade-related percutaneous pericardiocentesis. Both complications associated with percutaneous intervention were surgically treated.
