Recent advances in closure of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) is now widely accepted as an alternative to surgical closure. With currently available devices and techniques, approximately 80-90% of secundum ASDs and all PFOs can be closed percutaneously. While many devices are available, the use of any particular device is dictated largely by individual defect anatomy, device availability, long-term considerations, approval status (US Food and Drug Administration approval versus CE mark), and physician preference.

Patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defects are common cardiac defects that can be routinely closed with transcatheter devices, rather than more invasive open surgical techniques. There is good evidence supporting both surgical and transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects, but there remains controversy regarding some of the currently applied indications for patent foramen ovale closure...

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) are frequent congenital heart defects in adults. While the indication for surgical or interventional closure of an ASD is sufficiently evaluated, the necessity of closing a PFO remains a topic of academic discussions. In this article we present epidemiological data, show the actual anatomic classification, highlight relevant aspects of p...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the echocardiographic follow-up of patent foramen ovale, which is considered a potential etiological factor in various diseases, and to determine the factors affecting spontaneous closure. METHODS Between January 2000 and June 2012, records of 918 patients with patent foramen ovale were retrospectively reviewed. Patency of less than 3 mm...

Percutaneous closure of interatrial defects is an alternative to surgery that has gained acceptance in recent years to the extent that it has become the method of choice for many patients with this type of malformation. In Spain, 500 patients (children and adults) with interatrial communication (IAC) and 192 patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) underwent percutaneous closure interventions i...
