ABSTRACT:
An occlusion device for percutaneous transluminal correction of intracardiac and vascular septal defects is disclosed. The device comprises a pair of opposed occluders that are connected to one another using an interconnection that allows the occluders to move relative to one another. Additionally, a means for fluoroscopically visualizing and distinguishing the individual occluders of the device is also disclosed.
