متن کاملComplications of transcatheter atrial septal defect closure eview
Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect has replaced surgical closure in most centers. Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale is proposed as an alternative to medical therapy in the prevention of recurrent thromboembolic events in stroke patients. The overall complication rate of the percutaneous procedure is lower than the surgical complication rate. However, some of the major compl...
متن کاملTranscatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect: Does Age Matter?
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common type of common congenital heart disease (CHD) in adults. During the last decade, there has been a remarkable change in the treatment strategy of ASD, shifting the therapeutic gold standard from surgery to transcatheter closure, along with refinements and the evolution of device technology. Reports on the outcome of transcatheter ASD closure have sho...
