Integrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty

Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare.

Association between pulmonary hypertension and an atrial septal defect

An ASD is a relatively common congenital heart disease with a birth prevalence of 1.6 per 1000 live births, and a probability of survival into adulthood of 97 % [2, 3]. Different types of ASDs exist, and the secundum type, located at the fossa ovalis, is the most common (75 %) [4]. An ASD is characterised by a left-to-right shunt with volume overload of the right heart and pulmonary overcircula...

Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography for detection of acute pulmonary embolism: an in-depth review.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To review the published experience with gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in order to test the hypothesis that gadolinium-enhanced MRA may be potentially sensitive and specific enough to include it among diagnostic alternatives in the evaluation of patients with suspected PE. METHODS Studies were identif...
