septal defect in the current era are compared. Methods: All consecutive patients with a …

To judge whether an Amplatzer™ Septal Occluder can be used as standard therapy instead
of surgery for closure of atrial septal defects we report our experiences in 200 patients. Of …

In this review, evidence is presented to indicate that hemodynamically significant (right
ventricular volume overload) atrial septal defects (ASDs) in adults should be transcatheter …

Introduction: This study compares the effectiveness and cost of trans-catheter verses
surgical closure of secundum atrial septum defect (ASD). ASD accounts for 10% of …

Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are relatively common both in children and adults. Recent
reports of increase in the prevalence of ASD may be related use of color Doppler …

A transcatheter technique is described for stabilization and retrieval of an embolized
Amplatzer device, which was inadvertently deployed in the left atrium of a 2‐year‐old girl …

It is generally considered that the development of secundum atrial septal defect (ASDII) or
oval fossa defect is the result of excessive resorption of the embryological atrial septum …
