Percutaneous closure of secundum atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale has gained widespread use in recent years. We present a small series of four cases in which a “cobra‐like” formation occurred in an Occlutech Figulla device during the deployment of the left disk, and propose a technique that may resolve this problem. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
