Abstract

interatrial communication and echocardiographic criteria for percutaneous treatment of septal defect.The interatrial communication occlusion procedure must be continually monitored by transesophageal or intracardiac echocardiogram, since invaluable detailed information is provided, such as: stretched diameter measure – crucial for the choice on prosthesis size to be used; left atrium disk location guidance – thus avoiding dislocation through the defect; device positioning after all components have been opened; and tracking of possible periprosthetic residual flow (Figure 1).
