Repair of atrial septal defect primum

The persistent ostium primum atrial septal defect.

Five patients with an ostium primum type of atrial septal defect were studied by clinical and laboratory methods and the diagnosis was verified either at the time of open-heart surgery and/or at autopsy. The atrioventricular valves formed the floor of the defect and were deformed in 4 of the 5 patients. Mitral insufficiency was present as a result of this valvular deformity in these four patien...

Effect of Atrial Septal Defect Repair

To ascertain the effects of surgical closure of atrial septal defect on left ventricular geometry and degree of mitral prolapse, 14 patients with atrial septal defect were studied by cross-sectional and M-mode echocardiography preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively. Seven of the 14 patients (50%) had mitral valve prolapse preoperatively by cross-sectional echocardiography. To quantitate the ...
