Abstract

Atrial septal defects (ASDs) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) are common congenital cardiac malformations that portend a higher risk of ischemic stroke. Percutaneous closure of ASDs using septal occluder devices has proven to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery. We present a case of symptomatic cribriform secundum ASD and PFO who underwent successful percutaneous closure using two Amplatzer occluder devices using a novel "sandwich technique."
