Percutaneous transcatheter closure of congenital interatrial communication (ie, fontan fenestration, atrial septal defect) with implant
AI EXPLANATION: Transcatheter atrial septal defect closure is a minimally invasive procedure to seal an abnormal hole in the wall between the heart's upper chambers. Rather than performing open-heart surgery, a physician guides a thin tube called a catheter through a blood vessel, typically from the groin, to reach the heart. A specialized permanent closure implant is positioned across the opening to close the defect, allowing heart tissue to gradually grow around it and restore normal blood circulation.
