Atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart disease, producing a left-to-right shunt in
the atrial septum; the current preferred treatment is transcatheter device closure. The aim is …

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the interatrial septum (IAS) of the heart that is one of
the most common congenital heart diseases (CHD). Percutaneous transcatheter device …

Background The last decades have brought remarkable improvements in treatment strategy
and occluder modification of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. Approval, efficacy …

Objective The percutaneous closure of a single secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) under
transesophageal echocardiography guidance as an accepted alternative to the …

We aimed to determine the feasibility, efficacy, success, and safety of intracardiac
echocardiography (ICE) in transcatheter multiple atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. Of 185 …

Background and Objectives This study aimed to describe our early to mid-term experience
with transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure using the Occlutech Figulla® Flex II …

Objective To evaluate the benefit of using three-dimensional transesophageal
echocardiography (3DTEE) over conventional two-dimensional transesophageal …

The field of adult congenital interventions is unique in the world of cardiac catheterization,
combining the structural concepts commonly employed in pediatric heart disease and …

Background: Two separate ostium secundum atrial septal defects are a challenging
substrate for device closure due to lack of a well-described strategy or an adequately …

Hemocompatibility of cardiovascular implants represents a major clinical challenge and, to
date, optimal antithrombotic properties are lacking. Next-generation tissue-engineered heart …
