OBJECTIVE To define the morphological criteria of perforated atrial septal aneurysms
suitable for closure by a transcatheter device. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all …

Background: Atrial septal aneurysm is frequently associated with patent foramen ovale
(PFO) and atrial septal defects (ASD). Moreover, a relationship between atrial septal …

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 …

Percutaneous closure of secundum atrial septal defects may be complicated by immediate
or late device embolization. Percutaneous retrieval techniques are usually successful even if …

Objective—Registry to report our single-centre experience in closing defects of the atrial
septum. Methods—Between 1996 and 2001, transcatheter device closure of significant atrial …

The aim of the study was to assess the morphology of secundum‐type atrial septal defects
(ASD) with a view to percutaneous closure using Amplatzer septal occluders (ASO). One …

In most patients with an atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale, a single defect of the
interatrial septum may be closed with a single device. However, patients with multiple …

Objective: During recent years, transcatheter closure has become an alternative to
operations for the treatment of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale. However, this …

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect
(ASD) without balloon sizing. Methods: A total of 243 patients (group I), aged 2.1–76 years …
