We present the first case of a double atrial septal defect (ASD) successfully reshaped using transcatheter electrosurgery to unify both defects into a single orifice, enabling closure with a single device. This technique appears feasible and may simplify the management of complex double ASDs in some cases.

Case Summary: We present a case of a 31-year-old man with a history of aortic valve endocarditis and surgical aortic intervention. Computed tomography revealed a complex serpiginous fistula with 2 openings between the left ventricular outflow tract and the left atrium. Using 3-dimensional printing simulation for device fit testing and planning, the "mother-in-daughter" system, multimodality guidance with computed tomography angiography C-arm prediction, and 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram guidance successfully guided an 18-mm Cribriform Amplatzer device deployed via a retrograde approach.

Background: The Food and Drug Administration has approved percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure devices for hemodynamically significant interatrial shunts, paradoxical emboli including stroke, and decompression sickness. We aimed to study the trends in utilization and reimbursements of transcatheter ASD/PFO closure devices.

Aim: To analyze trends in utilization and Medicare reimbursements for transcatheter ASD/PFO closure procedures from 2013 to 2022.
