We have recently read with great interest the article by Chen et al. (1) entitled ‘‘Transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defects guided completely by transthoracic echocardiography: A single cardiac center experience with 152 cases’’ published in Anatol J Cardiol 2018; 20: 330-5. We recognize authors’ effort in the report describing the transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) fully guided by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which was a single-cardiac-center experience including 152 cases. On the other hand, we believe that there are some major drawbacks that need to be addressed here.
