ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis (IE) associated with an ASD device, particularly in the early post-procedure period, is extremely rare. We report a case of infective endocarditis presenting with embolic complications and vegetations on the device that were only seen on transesophageal echocardiography, necessitating device removal.
