title: Transcatheter closure of a large residual shunt after deployment of the Das-Angel Wings device using the Amplatzer septal occluder.
abstract: A 35-year-old female patient with a large residual shunt following transcatheter closure of a large secundum atrial septal defect using the Das-Angel Wings device underwent successful complete closure of the residual shunt using a 15-mm Amplatzer Septal Occluder. Transesophageal (two- and three-dimensional) echocardiography was of great help during the closure procedure. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:184-187, 1999.
