A growing list of transcatheter interventions is now available for treating patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. Among these procedures are creation of interatrial defects by balloon and blade septostomy , , balloon dilation of stenotic vessels and valves, and closure of unwanted intracardiac and extracardiac defects and vessels.
