Graded balloon septostomy, bladed atrial septostomy, fenestrated Amplatzer devices and stent placement have been reported to obtain stable interatrial communications. We expose our favorable experience creating an interatrial septal defect, by the use of two stents concentrically placed. We think it can be a procedure to be taken into account whenever a wide interauricular septal orifice must be achieved.
