title: Catheter closure of coronary sinus atrial septal defect using Amplatzer Septal Occluder.
abstract: Coronary sinus defect is a rare type of atrial septal defect. We report two patients who had a coronary sinus atrial septal defect without persistent left superior caval vein, where the orifice of the coronary sinus was closed using the Amplatzer Septal Occluder.
