Left ventricular free‐wall perforation can complicate catheter‐based diagnostic or interventional procedures and may require immediate needle pericardiocentesis followed by surgical repair in about 20% of the cases. We describe the transcatheter closure of a left ventricular free‐wall perforation as an option in the event of maintained access to the perforation site after defect creation. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
