  • Abstract
    Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) of the secundum type with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) has become a routine procedure with high procedural success rates. However, certain anatomical aspects, such as defect size and position in the atrial septum that cause some ASDs more difficult to close and requires different techniques. In this case, we describe the successful use of a Cryoablation Sheath for closure of this type of problematic ASD.
