AB Over  the  course  of  the  past  decade,  there  has  been  a  burgeoning  interest  in  closing  septal  defects  percutaneously.  To  date,  there  are  now  percutaneous  closure  devices  available  for  the  intended  closure  of  ostium  secundum  atrial  septal  defects  (ASDs)  as  well  as  patent  foramen  ovale  (PFO).  With  the  increased  interest  in  these  percutaneous  procedures,  the  interventional  cardiologist  now  has  an  additional  set  of  procedures  to  master  outside  the  coronary  vasculature.  This  chapter  will  review  the  current  techniques  and  devices  employed  during  these  specialized  procedures.
