Abstract
Intracardiac echocardiography guidance is replacing transesophageal echocardiography for percutaneous transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects eliminating the risks of endotracheal and esophageal intubation with a reduced procedure length. This case demonstrate that intracardiac echocardiography allows the correct Amplatzer disks implantation with percutaneous catheter closure in an elderly patient with short interventional times.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
