The experimental methods of creating atrial septal defects are briefly reviewed. Our own experimental approach and results in dogs are described.
Six patients underwent the closed balloon catheter dilatation of the foramen ovale as described by Rashkind and Miller8 and the results obtained warrant the use of this technique as an emergency procedure.
One patient is of particular interest since postmortem evaluation of the procedure was possible.
