critical pulmonary valve stenosis (cpvs) and atrial septal defect (asd) is an uncommon form of congenital heart disease. concurrent transcatheter pulmonary valvuplasty and closure of secundum atrial septal defect appears to be an interesting alternative to surgical correction. we present the simultaneous balloon valvuloplasty of critical pulmonary stenosis (ps) with supra systemic right ventric...

BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) has become a standard procedure in most medical centers. Although the procedure is invasive and has a shorter recovery duration and a lower complication rate compared with surgery, it is not risk-free. In this retrospective chart review case series, we report our experience of management of complications after placemen...

Critical pulmonary valve stenosis (CPVS) and atrial septal defect (ASD) is an uncommon form of congenital heart disease. Concurrent transcatheter pulmonary valvuplasty and closure of secundum atrial septal defect appears to be an interesting alternative to surgical correction. We present the simultaneous balloon valvuloplasty of critical pulmonary stenosis (PS) with supra systemic right ventric...

Residual atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare complication after percutaneous closure of an ostium secundum in eligible patients. Cardiac imaging, mainly transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography essential to establish the diagnosis. Surgical therapeutic strategy choice. We present case 54-year-old woman who presented with residual left-to-right shunt four years ASD secundum.

Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has become an accepted alternative to surgery. A number of complications associated with ASD device closure have been recognized but most are rare or minor in severity. We report a rare complication of atrial septal laceration during transcatheter closure of secundum ASD. We discuss the diagnostic confusion, which resulted in the decision for ...

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most frequently congenital heart diseases in adults and it is often asymptomatic until adulthood. We report a case of a 90-year-old woman admitted to hospital with dyspnea and orthopnea insidiously progressing over the preceding 5 years and becoming severe with dyspnea on minimal activities, orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, in the last 2 weeks...

a secundum atrial septal defect is the most common congenital heart defect. transcatheter treatment of secundum atrial septal defects is a popular and less invasive alternative to surgery. procedural complications may occur in a wide spectrum, particularly device embolus as the most emergent one, but luckily they do not commonly occur in the clinical setting. mortality from adverse events relat...

Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) using percutaneous approach has become accepted treatment in many cardiac centers. The majority of patients with ASD require a single device for closure, but a small proportion of ASD patients may have multiple defects and these are often considered unsuitable for device closure. Although spatial imaging to understand the relationship...
