Article Abstract
Background: The Occlutech Figulla ASD device series (OFSO) shows an improved device design for interventional ASD closure, larger follow-up series are missing.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the feasibility, safety, implantation properties, results, and follow-up of ASD closure using Occlutech devices over a 5 year period by establishing a multi-institutional collaborative result registry with 16 contributing centers from 11 countries (IRFACODE).
Results: In 1315 patients of all age groups (female 66.9%), successful (98%) ASD closure was performed (mean age 28.9 years, weight 52 kg, height 148.6 cm). Of the defects, 47.9% showed no or only a deficient aortic rim; in 11.9%, there was more than one defect; a septum aneurysm was present in 21.5%; and the mean implanted device size was 20.5 mm. Immediate closure was achieved in 78.6%, at discharge in 83.1%, and 96.4% and 97.3% at 6 and 12 months follow-up, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 2.7 years (in total 3597 patient years), significant complications were minimal (total = 8, <1%) with secondary device embolizations in five and AV-blocks in three patients. No erosion or death was reported.
Conclusion: ASD closure using OFSO is feasible in a large variety of patients, safe with only a minimal risk of severe side effects and especially without any aortic erosions despite a large percentage of large and complicated defects. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Background: Secundum Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are the most common type of atrial septal defects. Today, using different types of occluders, transcatheter closure is widely used to treat ASD and has replaced the surgical procedure in anatomically suitable patients. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of treatment of adult patients requiring an ASD device closure referred to Shahid Chamran Cardiovascular Center in Isfahan, Iran.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.

The case report presented in this edition by Mu . The report presents a case of atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with electrocardiographic changes, noting that the crochetage sign resolved after Selective His Bundle Pacing (S-HBP) without requiring surgical closure. The mechanisms behind the appearance and resolution of the crochetage sign remain unclear.

Background: Cardiac arrest in pregnancy is rare. Clinicians need to adapt management to the altered anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, and the well-being of two patients (mother and foetus) may come into consideration. The medical literature has limited reports on outcomes following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pregnancy.
