Pericardiocentesis is an emerging, lifesaving procedure in patients with cardiac tamponade. Inadvertent right ventricle (RV) perforation during pericardiocentesis is a life-threatening complication, which often requires an open surgical repair (1). There are few case reports about the percutaneous closure of iatrogenic RV perforation (2-7). Here, we describe a patient with iatrogenic RV perforation, who had an unsuccessful attempt of percutaneous closure with a suture based vascular closure device.
