We describe three patients with initial failure of transcatheter patent foramen ovale closure. Two patients had residual defects successfully closed during the initial session, and one patient had a persistent shunt, which was corrected at a later time. Anatomical and technical considerations and the role of intracardiac ultrasound are discussed. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2005;64:338–344. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
