Transcatheter closure has been attempted in selected cases of
ventricular septal defects using Lock clamshell device, Rashkind umbrella device, and Sideris buttoned device. A small perimembranous ventricular septal defect with aneurysm of membranous septum in a 12 year old girl was closed successfully with a detachable steel coil of
8 mm diameter with four loops, after failure of deployment of a
Rashkind double umbrella device.
