DOI: 10.1016/j.ihj.2017.04.018
Abstract: Atrial septal defect closure is now routinely performed using a percutaneous approach under echocardiographic guidance. Since some echocardiographic features play an important role in the assessment of the defect and safety of the procedure, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)31203-3
Abstract: Atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart disease. We designed a propensity-match analysis to describe the outcomes of acute PE in patients with ASD. Our primary outcome of interest was embolic cerebrovascular events (stroke/TIA).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1047951116001517
Abstract: Abstract The management of apical ventricular septal defects continues to be challenging because of the difficulty in achieving a complete closure without a left apical ventriculotomy. In this study, we present our innovative technique of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1047951116002663
Abstract: Abstract Background Transcatheter device closure has become the established standard of care for suitable atrial septal defects. Device erosion has been a recent focus and has prompted changes in the Instructions for Users documentation released… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1047951118001099
Abstract: Abstract Objective The outcome of transcatheter closure in ostium secundum atrial septal defects is determined by the morphology of the defects. Modified techniques such as balloon assistance, pulmonary vein deployment, left atrial roof technique, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1047951121001050
Abstract: Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects is considered first-line therapy when anatomically appropriate but is often challenged by proximity to the conduction system in perimembranous defects, or irregular defect shape, especially residual defects that may… read more here.
