Abstract

Of 31 patients who underwent transcatheter atrial septal defect occlusion with the Bard Clamshell Septal Umbrella, only 1 had a clinically significant residual atrial septal defect at a mean follow-up of 41 months. All patients were asymptomatic despite the occurrence of device arm fractures in 84% of these patients.
