## Abstract Background: This study reports our experience in the nonsurgical closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects in children and adolescents with the Amplatzer asymmetric ventricular septal defect occluder and the outcome of an 18βmonth follow up. Methods and Results: Twenty patien
Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) using clamshell or buttoned devices is accompanied by a high incidence of residual shunt. Recently, a new selfcentering device, the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO), has been evaluated in an animal model with very good results. Therefore, o
