Abstract:
The Amplatzer atrial septal defect occlusion device has gained popularity for the nonoperative closure of secundum-type defects. We describe a case of multiple atrial septal defects that were "consolidated" into a single defect using blade atrial septostomy for successful closure with single Amplatzer device.
