Abstract:
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital defect that leads to various hemodynamic complications if untreated. Transcatheter closure (TCC) of isolated secundum ASD is the preferred treatment. Herein we describe a unique malaligned ASD secondary to a membranous chord. With balloon sizing and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), TCC was successfully pursued. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
