AbstractWe report experimental use of a new device for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects. The device was implanted in surgically created atrial septal defects in two pigs. The devices were easy to implant, and the procedures were short. Both devices were implanted correctly in the desired position, and closed the defect completely. No procedural complications nor problems were encountered. The technique is certainly worth trying in the clinical setting. The device appears to be particularly favourable for use in children because it can be implanted through a 7 French sheath.

Abstract Ostium secundum atrial septal defects are mostly closed in the cardiac catheterization laboratories using either Amplatzer® (Abbott Laboratories, IL) atrial septal occluder, Gore® Cardioform septal occluder and more recently using the recently approved (US FDA approval June 2019) Gore® Cardioform atrial septal defect occluder (W. L. Gore & Associates, AZ). Similar to any new device in the market, there is a learning curve to the deployment of this device. We therefore aim to report the key features about this new Gore Cardioform atrial septal defect occluder device with special emphasis on technical aspects that can be employed during transcatheter closure of challenging ostium secundum atrial septal defects using this device.
