Atrial septal defect (ASD) accounts for 25–30% of congenital heart defects that are
diagnosed in adult hood. ASDs are classified according to location in the interatrial septum …

The purpose of this review is to discuss the management of atrial septal defects (ASD),
paying particular attention to the most recent developments. There are four types of ASDs …

Truly long-term follow-up data after transcatheter closure (TC) of atrial septal defects (ASDs)
are scarce. We report the 5-to 20-year outcomes of TC and surgical closure (SC) for typical …

Background Secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) are treated by surgical closure (SC) or
transcatheter device closure (TCC). Due to a scarcity of data directly comparing these …

Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are among the most common of congenital heart defects and are
frequently associated with atrial arrhythmias. Atrial and ventricular geometrical remodelling …

Transcatheter closure is a widespread technique used to treat secundum atrial septal
defects (ASDs). When compared to surgery, it provides a less invasive approach with …

Objectives: This study assessed long-term outcome after transcatheter atrial septal defect
(ASD) closure in older patients, especially those older than 75 years of age. Background …

Objective Therapeutic strategies for atrial septal defect (ASD) with severe pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) are controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PAH …

Catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases (SHD) has seen tremendous
advances in the past decades, thanks to the development of new devices and advances in …

Objective Closure of an atrial septal defect in elderly patients is controversial. The aim of the
