Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transcatheter closure of ASD and VSD have become an important part of interventional treatment of common congenital heart defects. Over the years, new devices and techniques have been developed, with substantial improvements in results: device closure has proven to be possible not only for isolated secundum ASD, but also for multiple and complex defects; more recently, very encouraging results have also been reported for percutaneous treatment of Sinus venosus defects, at least in selected patients. Similar progress was achieved for VSD closure, extending the possibility of successful closure in many anatomical defect variations, including muscular, perimembranous, and outlet defects.
In addition, this Special Issue will focus on the dissemination of important information on preventing complications and bailout-preventing techniques when they occur. Descriptions of the aforementioned new devices/techniques will be provided by internationally recognized experts, including the pioneers experienced with reabsorbable devices.
