Percutaneous Closure of a "Doughnut Leak" Around an Atrial Septal Occluder Device in a Patient With Recurrent Migraines.

Percutaneous Closure of a "Doughnut Leak" Around an Atrial Septal Occluder Device in a Patient With Recurrent Migraines. J Invasive Cardiol. 2020 Sep;32(9):E242-E243 Authors: Agasthi P, Graziano JN, Pophal SG Abstract A 10-year-old girl with pulmonary atresia status post transannular patch repair and secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) underwent percutaneous ASD closure 5 years earlier. There was improvement in arterial saturation from 86% to 98% with minimal residual right-to-left shunt. Despite subsequent medical therapy, she developed recurrent migraines, which led us to pursue percutaneous closure of the shunt. PMID: 32865512 [PubMed - in process]
