Abstract

Closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) can be achieved by various methods right from direct closure to patch closure using various materials viz. pericardium, Dacron and Teflon, to device closure using percutaneous techniques. Although percutaneous techniques are the most commonly practised method in developed countries, a subset of patients will require surgical closure. Various patch materials have been used for long, but all of them have some complications and risks associated with them. We report a case of novel technique of ASD closure done using a pedicled, vascularised and contractile right atrial wall flap.
