چکیده
In recent years, advances in transcatheter percutaneous closures for adults with congenital heart defects have paralleled technological improvements, including imaging, arrhythmia management, and percutaneous interventions. Indications for percutaneous closure of congenital heart defects have expanded with the widening range of device shapes and sizes. This review gives a brief outline of accompanied by guidelines, indications for percutaneous closure in adult common congenital heart defects.

Dexmedetomidine sedation for transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous atrial septal defect closure in adult
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is second common congenital heart disease that often leads to adult period. Intracardiac or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is essential for percutaneous closure of ASD using Amplatzer septal occluder. Dexmedetomidine (DEX), which is a highly selective α2-agonist, has sedative and analgesic properties without respiratory depression in the clinical dose range. W...

Ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart defect. The adverse prognosis of untreated ASD diagnosed in childhood is well studied and percutaneous device closure of these ASDs has evolved to become the standard of care in both pediatric and young adult populations. There is a growing body of literature that suggests the benefits of ASD closure are not restricted to y...
متن کاملIntegrated 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. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...

Secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 10% of congenital heart disease4 at birth and for 30-40% of cases seen in adults.5 Approximately 300-400 patients undergo surgical closure of atrial septal defect in the United Kingdom each year. Reports of the natural history of atrial septal defect and of the indications for and results of surgery imply that patients become increasingly symptomatic w...
متن کاملDevice closure of secundum atrial septal defects in children <15 kg: complication rates and indications for referral.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine institutional complication rates in a previously underreported patient population and discuss referral indications. BACKGROUND There has been a trend over the years for referral of younger and smaller patients for "elective" closure of atrial septal defects (ASD). In general, the risks associated with ASD device closure are believed and reported to be...
