Abstract
Secundum type atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart defect. The repair of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASDs) by an open heart operation is a safe procedure associated with low mortality and morbidity. Transcatheter closure is a less invasive method of repairing ASDs and may also be the procedure of first choice in residual postsurgical ASD. Only few cases of residual postsurgical ASD which were closed transcatheter have been reported in literature. In this report, we present a 17-year-old malepatient who had residual ASD after surgical closure with patch, residual ASD was succesfully closed with Amplatzer septal occluder.
