摘要
Transcatheter closure of a single secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is performed routinely using various investigational devices. A 37-year-old patient with two large secundum ASDs underwent successful simultaneous transcatheter closure an using an 18-mm and 20-mm Amplatzer(TM) septal occluder device. At 3-month follow-up, transesophageal color Doppler echocardiography revealed one defect to be completely closed, and the other had trivial residual shunt with significant improvement in symptoms.
