Swiss Cheese-Like Atrial Septal Defect – Percutaneous Closure in Adulthood

Abstract

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defect (CHD), however multiplex, swiss cheese like ASDs are quite uncommon. Percutaneous closure of these complex malformations require high quality transeso­phageal echocardiographic guidance. In the following we would like to present our patient with three separate ASDs, who underwent successful transcatheter ASD closure recently. The closure was performed using two Amplatzer Occluders in a Sandwich technique.
