Objectives The long-term outcomes after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD)
in adults are reported and compared between age groups and against population control …

Objective This study aimed at determining the eff ect of percutaneous ASD closure on the AV
conduction. Percutaneous closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) has …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to
surgical approach. Current device has significantly improved the success rate also in …

Background: Transcatheter atrial septal closures for secundum atrial septal defects (ASD)
have demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes. However, the impact of device implantation …

Results A total of 23 patients underwent therapeutic catheterization to close secundum ASD,
and the closure was successful in 22 patients (95.7%). All patients who underwent the …

Background Trans‐catheter device closure of secundum type atrial septal defects (ASDs)
has now become the treatment of choice. Device closure affects the hemodynamics and …

Objective Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart defect. There is
limited data on both early and late atrioventricular (AV) block post ASD closure. The aim of …

Objective: To investigate the natural history of secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) over
several years using serial echocardiographic studies. Methods: All patients with isolated …

To evaluate whether transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) affected
noninvasive electrophysiologic variables in children, we reviewed the preprocedural and 1 …

Background: Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions remaining
asymptomatic until adulthood in a great number of patients. The most frequent atrial septal …
