Balloon assisted technique for closure of large atrial septal defects [PDF]

, 2008
Amplatzer device closure of large atrial septal defects is challenging. A large device tends to malalign with the plane of the interatrial septum or prolapses through the defect.

Late erosion of Amplatzer septal occluder device resulting in cardiac tamponade [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2014
Transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) is a minimally invasive technique that offers an alternative to conventional surgical repair. There are risks imposed by this technique; however, they compare favourably with risks of surgical closure.

Device Closure of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect: Choosing Between Amplatzer Occluders [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: Off-label device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) is well reported in the literature with encouraging results. However, technical challenges may be encountered. Objectives: To evaluate and compare feasibility, technical aspects, procedural outcomes, and mid-term follow-up of pmVSD closure using Amplatzer ...

Percutaneous device closure of atrial septal defect in HIV-positive patient: a challenge for interventionist

HIV & AIDS Review. International Journal of HIV-Related Problems, 2020
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects. Intracardiac repair via midline sternotomy or right thoracotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass have been considered the standard treatment for the closure of atrial septal defects,

Bronchial compression in an infant with isolated secundum atrial septal defect associated with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]

, 2012
Symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with isolated atrial septal defect (ASD) is rare during infancy. We report a case of isolated ASD with severe PAH in an infant who developed airway obstruction as cardiomegaly progressed.

A Decade of Experience With Transcatheter VSD Closure: Outcomes From a Philanthropic‐Based Center

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital heart defects, with outcomes influenced by size and location. Transcatheter closure (TCC) has become a widely used option for repair. This study presents a decade‐long institutional experience with TCC of VSDs, evaluating its safety and efficacy.

Long‐Term Survival After Post‐Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure, Multiple Percutaneous Coronary Interventions and Edge‐to‐Edge Repair

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3349-3354, November 15, 2025.
ABSTRACT This reports a case of a female aged 65 who presented in cardiogenic shock secondary to an inferior ST‐elevation myocardial infarction and was diagnosed with a post‐infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) and was also found to have severe mitral valve regurgitation. She was not surgically operable, so underwent percutaneous VSD repair. Over
