Great case. We tried it with Perclose ProGlide™, but not successful. And published it as ............. Vijayvergiya R, Shrimanth YS, Kasinadhuni G, Singh H, Sharma A, Bhargav A, Kaur N. Percutaneous suture based device closure of an inadvertent right ventricle perforation following pericardiocentesis. Anatol J Cardiol. 2021 Nov;25(11):829-831. doi: 10.5152/AnatolJCardiol.2021.49.

Nice case. Using amplatzer device to seal iatrogenic rv puncture during pericardiocentsis. It has been reported quite a few times. We practice keeping 014 wire into the ventricle besides the device just for safety in case device jumps out.
