At Jimenez Diaz Foundation University Hospital, Device Closure of ASD (Amplatzer Septal Occluder) is performed using specialized catheter-based cardiac techniques and comprehensive pre-procedure assessment. Established in 1935, this ISO, JCI accredited hospital in Madrid, Spain has 686 beds and offers advanced interventional and congenital cardiology services.

Device Closure of ASD (Amplatzer Septal Occluder) may be considered for patients with a suitable atrial septal defect where closure is clinically indicated. A catheter is introduced through a blood vessel, usually in the groin, and guided toward the heart. The Amplatzer device is then advanced through the catheter and carefully positioned across the ASD under imaging guidance. Echocardiography and cardiac imaging are used to assess the size, location, and surrounding structures of the defect before and during the procedure.
