title: Thrombus formation after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect.
abstract: Thrombotic layers and/or atrial thrombi were detected by transesophageal echocardiography as a usual finding after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects with the ASDOS device. The size of the thrombotic structures regularly decreased within 6 months without any clinical signs of embolization.
