Transvenous umbrella technique was successfully used during cardiac catheterization to close a secundum atrial septal defect in a 17-year-old girl.
Demonstrates the use of a transvenous umbrella technique for the closure of a secundum atrial septal defect in a pediatric patient.
A 17-year-old girl had clinical and cardiac catheterization findings compatible with a secundum atrial septal defect. During cardiac catheterization, the atrial septal defect was sized and closed using a transvenous umbrella technique.
Terry D. King (1976) studied this question. Transvenous umbrella technique was successfully used during cardiac catheterization to close a secundum atrial septal defect in a 17-year-old girl.
