Transcatheter Closure of Complex Multifenestrated Atrial Septal Defect Using Three Septal Occluders: Is Three Too Many?

ABSTRACT: Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are a common form of adult congenital heart disease, with surgical or transcatheter closure being the mainstay of treatment in patients with hemodynamic or clinical complications. Transcatheter repair of secundum ASD is safe and effective. Complex secundum ASDs with multifenestrated defects pose a unique challenge to transcatheter repair. We report a successful but complex transcatheter closure of an ASD using three overlapping Amplazter devices.
