Abstract
A novel double-balloon septal defect occlusion catheter which is used in conjunction with a unique surgical procedure to temporarily close septal perforations, particularly spontaneous ventricular septal perforations following acute myocardial infarction, without the need for open heart surgery, thus permitting the patient's condition to stabilize and permitting elective surgical closure of the defect at a later date.
