“…In the last 10-15 years, major advances in the percutaneous treatment of atrial septal defects with the use of several occluding devices has occurred with progressive improvement in the results [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . Because this approach currently provides excellent occlusive results with minimum morbidity and mortality in short and medium follow-up with obvious advantages regarding the surgical approach [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , it is considered the method of choice for the treatment of selected patients in several medical centers around the world.…”

However, some devices have not been widely accepted by interventionists because they possess characteristics far from those considered ideal [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”

“…Assim, a ecocardiografia firma-se como o exame diagnóstico de eleição na confirmação da suspeita clínica, substituindo o estudo hemodinâmico e angiográfico e, estes, por seu lado, cada vez mais e de maneira apropriada, substituem a cirurgia cardíaca, no alívio de muitos distúrbios hemodinâmicos [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Dessa maneira, percebe-se que as fronteiras da especialidade sofreram mudanças e os marcos antigos, os clíni-cos, hemodinâmicos, cirúrgicos e anatomopatológicos, agora, são certamente acrescidos de outros marcos, dada a intromissão dos métodos entre si, tanto no diagnóstico quanto na conduta.…”

“…Sucedeu tal fato em vista da evolução das próteses, desde a de Clamshell até a mais atual, de Amplatzer para o fechamento da comunicação interatrial e até as simples molas de Gianturco no fechamento do canal arterial 2,4,6,10,12 . Em ambas as técnicas, as lesões residuais se eqüivalem às verificadas por procedimentos cirúrgicos convencionais e pelo cateterismo intervencionista, em cerca de 1 a 2% dos casos.…”
