	abstract = {Transcatheter closure is a widespread technique used to treat secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs). When compared to surgery, it provides a less invasive approach with quicker recovery and reduced physical and psychological impact. Nowadays, almost 85–90% of all secundum ASD can be closed by using a transcatheter approach. However, several limitations may have a significant impact on the feasibility and success of percutaneous ASD closure. Limitations can be grouped as: (I) anatomical; (II) device-related; (III) associated defects and natural history associated issues; (IV) physiological; (V) complications. Physician should be aware of potential limits of percutaneous ASD closure.},
