Structured PICO

Is transcatheter closure with the CardioSEAL double umbrella device safe and effective in patients with complex morphological variations of atrial septal defects?

Population

7 patients (age range, 3.6-25.5 years) with morphological variations of the atrial septal defect (2 with abnormal location of the oval fossa and partial deficiency of the septal rim, 3 with multiple defects, and 2 with a multiperforated aneurysm of the interatrial septum)

Intervention

Transcatheter closure with the double umbrella device (CardioSEAL)

Outcome

Complications, serious arrhythmias, and residual shuntingsafety

The CardioSEAL double umbrella device allows for effective transcatheter closure of multiple or irregularly shaped atrial septal defects, broadening the spectrum of patients eligible for this procedure.
