title: Intracardiac echocardiography in monitoring atrial septal defect percutaneous closure: initial experience in an adult laboratory.
abstract: Two cases of percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale with intracardiac echo monitoring are described. Intracardiac echocardiography was compared to contemporary TOE with full data concordance. The inherent implications and limitations of this new method are discussed.
