Why, When and How Should Atrial Septal Defects Be Closed in Adults
The most common defects in the atrial septum are ostium secundum, ostium primum and sinus venosus atrial septal defects (ASDs) and patent foramen ovale. The management of ostium primum and sinus venosus defects is by surgery because of associated abnormalities, namely, cleft in the mitral valve causing mitral regurgitation in ostium primum defects and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connecti...
متن کاملWhen and how should atrial septal defects be closed in adults?
In this review, evidence is presented to indicate that hemodynamically significant (right ventricular volume overload) atrial septal defects (ASDs) in adults should be transcatheter occluded, irrespective of symptomatology. While surgical closure is safe and effective, device closure carries less morbidity. Several devices have been investigated over the last few decades, but at the present tim...
متن کاملShould we close small ventricular septal defects?
As we race each other to close increasingly smaller holes in the catheterization laboratory, we would do well to remember these wise words of Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, and philosopher who laid the foundation for the modern theory of probability. In this editorial, we aim to look at the existing evidence surrounding the closure of the isolated small ventricular septal defect (VSD), ...
متن کاملMultiple Muscular Ventricular Septal Defects.
APPROXIMATELY 10 per cent of interventricular communications occur in the muscular portion of the ventricular septum.1-3 Of 259 cases of isolated ventricular septa] defects,2' 4-9 4.0 per cent had multiple muscular defects. Scant mention of these multiple defects as a distinct entity can be found in the recent literature, although the incidence is significant. We have observed characteristic fi...
