Complications after device closure of ostium secundum defects are rare but possible. We present a very late erosion of the interatrial septum after a percutaneous closure of an ostium secundum defect. Identification of early clinical and imaging clues associated with this condition is fundamental for a timely diagnosis and treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
