ABSTRACT Introduction: Since King and Mills' pioneering work in percutaneous closure
devices of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) four decades ago, developments in device …

There has been a remarkable improvement in the treatment strategy of secundum atrial
septal defect (ASD) over the last few decades. Indebted to the improvement in device …

In the last decade, percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure has become the
treatment of choice in most clinical presentations of ASD. Percutaneous ASD closure has …

Transcatheter closure is a widespread technique used to treat secundum atrial septal
defects (ASDs). When compared to surgery, it provides a less invasive approach with …

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 …

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects, accounting for
7%-10% of all congenital heart disease (CHD) in children and 30%-33% of defects …

Background: Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) has become an alternative
to open surgical procedures. The Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) has been approved since …

BACKGROUND: Device closure of an isolated secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) has
been used as an alternative method for open surgical closure with comparable success and …

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 …

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 …
