Transcatheter ASD closure using Amplatzer Septal Occluder is safe in children with a minimal rate of periprocedural complications and a favorable long-term outcome, especially with no death or cardiac erosion despite a substantial proportion of large defects. Children ≤15 kg and those with large ASDs had a greater risk of complications.

LS measurement using TE is a rapid and reliable method to evaluate CVP in patients with congenital heart disease.

Percutaneous BAS may be a safe and efficient strategy for discharging the LA in both adults and children supported by VA-ECMO.
