Abstract

We report a 5-year-old patient with severe pulmonary hypertension and a large secundum atrial septal defect who benefited from a percutaneous closure of the defect with an Occlutech^® custom-made fenestrated device. Whereas the closure is technically identical to standard atrial defect closure, the immediate and midterm beneficial results are presented.

Keywords: Atrial septal defect; Fenestrated device; Partial defect closure; Pulmonary hypertension.
