High success rates support dual-device feasibility in select multiple ASD cases; leaves open need for prospective trials before wider adoption.
Does transcatheter closure using two Amplatzer devices simultaneously guided by transoesophageal echocardiography achieve successful closure in patients with multiple atrial septal defects?
Transcatheter closure of multiple atrial septal defects using two Amplatzer devices simultaneously is feasible and effective, with 2D and 3D TEE providing valuable procedural guidance.
