Abstract
The most common indications for percutaneous closure of intracardiac communications in adults include atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO). Other indications for percutaneous closure include ventricular septal defects (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and surgical intracardiac connections, such as shunts (Blalock–Taussig, Glenn, and Fontan) and atrial switch baffles. Transcatheter closures are less invasive than surgical procedures, subject the patient to decreased risk of myocardial ischemia, provide increase patient comfort, and shorten hospitalization.
