Popis: Multiple atrial septal defects can be closed by interventional catheterisation. The procedure requires an accurate morphological evaluation: number of defects, distance from their edges to the main cardiac structures, resistance of the septum. The authors report the case of a 63 year old woman presenting with cardiac failure in whom 3 atrial septal defects were diagnosed. All 3 defects were successfully closed by the implantation of two Amplatz devices. Control echocardiography at 6 months showed the occluders in a normal position with no residual shunt and the patient was asymptomatic.
