Novel Modified Technique for Transcatheter Closure of Secundum Atrial Septal Defect: A Single Center Experience

Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects is widely approved worldwide, yet it still has multiple risks like perforation and radiation exposure. In this study, we proposed a modified rapid method for closure of secundum atrial septal defects, to avoid material manipulation inside your heart and decrease complication rate.
