* Closure success defined as completely occluded or clinically insignificant shunt as determined by the Echo Core Lab at the 6-month evaluation among subjects with technical success.2 

† Deficient retro-aortic rim was defined as a retro-aortic rim measuring less than or equal to 5 mm on any view on echocardiogram.
