Infective endocarditis (IE) of a transcatheter coil occluder for a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but serious complication. It occurs when bacterial infection colonizes the occluder device, leading to vegetation formation and systemic embolization. Treatment involves prolonged intravenous antibiotics, and in some cases, device removal may be necessary. The surgical Management of this serious complication is challenging.
