Atrial septal defect closure

Cardiol Clin. 2013 Aug;31(3):385-400. doi: 10.1016/j.ccl.2013.05.003.

Abstract

Congenital heart disease accounted for 0.3% of US hospital admissions in 2007, with 48% related to atrial septal defects (ASDs). More than one-fourth of adult congenital heart defects are ASDs, 75% of which are ostium secundum ASDs. The progressive impact of volume overload of the right cardiac chambers can be halted by ASD closure. This review focuses on percutaneous ASD closure.

Keywords: Adults; Atrial septal defect; Percutaneous closure; Septal closure device.
