The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of transcatheter
closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) in patients with complex anatomy. From …

Objective Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) is currently a reliable
alternative to surgery, even though challenging in the case of complex septal anatomy. The …

Background Transcatheter closure of moderate sized atrial septal defects (ASD) has been
demonstrated to be safe and effective. However, the feasibility of transcatheter closure of …

Background: Transcatheter device closure (TCDC) and intraoperative device closure (IODC)
have emerged as minimally invasive methods in the treatment of secundum atrial septal …

The objective of this study was to find differences in outcome and complications using three
different types of devices for percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in adults …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to
surgical approach. Current device has significantly improved the success rate also in …

Objectives: We aimed to assess (1) the role of surgical versus transcatheter closure
techniques and (2) the impact of a modified implantation technique to optimize closure of …

Background: The percutaneous closure of single atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid
alternative to surgery. Objectives: To assess the feasibility of percutaneous treatment of …

In summary, device closure of the ASD has become standard of care for secundum ASD.
ASDs as large as 40 mm diameter can be closed using the ASO devices [28]. Midterm and …

Objective: The aim of this study is to report our short and mid-term results of intraoperative
device closure (IODC) in large secundum atrial septal defects (ASD), to evaluate its safety …
