Abstract Background Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) are a major source of morbidity in the
atrial septal defect (ASD) patient cohort. The optimal timing and approach of anti-arrhythmic …

Background Atrial arrhythmias are common in patients with atrial septal defects (ASD) but
the effects of percutaneous closure on atrial arrhythmia prevalence is unclear. We …

AIMS: Atrial fibrillation and flutter remain an important cause of morbidity in adults with atrial
septal defect (ASD). This study aimed at investigating predictors for late (≥ 1month after …

Background: A 24 h Holter study in children after transcatheter secundum ASD (ASD II)
closure was conducted to detect the prevalence of defects and/or device-related late atrial …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous positioning of closure devices is a well-established
treatment of atrial septal defects (ASDs). However, patients who have undergone the …

Objective The ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is among the most common
congenital cardiac anomalies diagnosed in adulthood. A known complication of …

Objective: Atrial septal defect (ASD) accounts for 6-10% of all congenital heart disorders.
Secundum ASD closure can be performed surgically or percutaneously. We aimed to …

Objectives This study aimed to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of arrhythmias
after either transcatheter or surgical closure of atrial septal defect. Methods This prospective …

Background/purpose Atrial flutter/fibrillation (AFL/Af) is a common late complication in atrial
septal defect (ASD) patients even after occluder implantation. We try to delineate the risk …

AIM: To investigate long-term efficacy of two different devices more than five years after
