    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2004 Sep 01; 94(5):690-2. PubMed ID: 15342315.
    Abstract:
    The cost of percutaneous device closure of atrial septal defect in children and adults using the Amplatzer Septal Occluder under intracardiac echocardiographic guidance was compared with that of transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. Hospital and physician charges incurred by 20 patients who had intracardiac echocardiographic guidance and 20 patients who had transesophageal echocardiographic guidance during atrial septal defect closure were compared.
