Percutaneous closure of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm
The aim of the present study is to describe the indications, treatment effects, and patient outcomes of percutaneous management of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). The study materials were based on comprehensive literature retrieval since 2004.

Percutaneous Closure of Atrial Septal Defect
ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT (ASD) is a common congenital lesion in adults. Prolonged left-to-right shunting and excessive pulmonary blood flow may lead to pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger's syndrome, and right heart failure. A significant ASD should be closed irrespective of age.

Interventional Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) with Amplatzer PFO Occluder in Patients with Paradoxical Cerebral Embolism [PDF]
Background: Percutaneous transcatheter closure has been proposed as an alternative to surgical closure or long-term anticoagulation in patients with presumed paradoxical embolism and patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Percutaneous Closure of Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm [PDF]
Background— Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication from myocardial infarction and cardiac surgery. Although standard treatment is surgical intervention, percutaneous closure of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm has become an option for high-risk surgical candidates.

Mammoth interatrial septal aneurysm in the ICE age
Background Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful imaging modality that is now being used more widely to assist in the percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) and patent foramen ovales (PFO). Case presentation A 42 year old lady with

Evolution of blood biomarker levels following percutaneous atrial septal defect closure in adults
Background: We sought to assess the effects of percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure on blood biomarker levels that possibly reflect reverse cardiac remodeling.

Echocardiographic right ventricular remodeling after percutaneous atrial septal defect closure
Background: In order to prevent right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, closure of secundum type atrial septal defects (ASD) is often indicated and percutaneous closure is the preferred treatment modality to do so.

Evaluation of cardiac function in children after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect using speckle tracking echocardiography [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is among the most common congenital anomalies that its neglect may cause severe right ventricular (RV)-associated cardiac dysfunction.

Percutaneous Closure of Prosthetic Paravalvular Leaks
Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) are relatively common after valve replacement. These leaks are usually small and disappear during the follow-up. Symptomatic PVLs occur in 1% to 2% of patients undergoing valve replacement. PVLs causing clinical consequences require surgical intervention. Surgery is considered the gold standard of dehiscence repair.
