title: Fenestrated atrial septal defect percutaneously occluded by a single device: procedural and financial considerations.
abstract: A 45-year-old patient presented with a cerebrovascular attack and was subsequently found to have a multi-fenestrated atrial septal defect. Various therapeutic options for percutaneous transcatheter closure with their respective benefits and flaws are discussed, as well as procedural and financial considerations. The decision making process leading to a successful result using a single occlusive device is presented, alongside a review of the literature.
