Right atrial separation effect for chronic atrial fibrillation with atrial septal defect: report of four cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We operated on 56 adults diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD) between 1990 and 2004. Of these, eight had complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the preoperative period. After 1998, right atrial separation was performed in four cases. Marked improvement was noted in three out of the four cases. The right atrial separation procedure was a simple, easy, and effective method for the treatment of chronic AF associated with ASD.

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. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
