RESUMO
We present a case of a displaced atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder in the left ventricle. We successfully adapted a strategy to remove the device through a single right atrial incision which permitted retrieval of the occluder and the closure of the ASD.

Coronary-coronary bypass grafting refers to making anastomoses between two segments of the same coronary artery or between different coronary arteries, and provides less "touch" to the aorta, which is important for the patients with severely atherosclerotic ascending aorta. In this report we represent a case of a patient with extensive atherosclerotic aorta, in whom a saphenous vein graft was placed between the acute marginal and the posterior-descending branches of the right coronary artery during an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
