Evaluation of the Ventricular Mechanical Dyssynchrony in Patients with Atrial Septal Defect [PDF]
Background: There is some evidence indicating improvement in myocardial performance after atrial septal defect closure, either device closure or surgical, but ventricular dyssynchrony has not been evaluated before and after surgical closure.

Potts anastomosis in children with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and atrial septal defect
Aims Potts shunt has been proposed as a bridge or alternative to lung transplantation for children with severe and drug‐refractory suprasystemic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Pathophysiology and natural history of atrial septal defect.
Atrial septal defects are among the third most common types of congenital heart disease. This group of malformations includes several types of atrial communications allowing shunting of blood between the systemic and the pulmonary circulations.

Atrial septal defect closure: indications and contra-indications.
Transcatheter closure has become an accepted alternative to surgical repair for ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASD). However, large ASDs (>38 mm) and defects with deficient rims are usually not offered transcatheter closure but are referred for ...

Atrial septal defect in a patient with congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a: a case report
Background Atrial septal defect often become more severe when encountered in genetic syndromes. Congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a is an inherited metabolic disorder associated with mutations in PMM2 gene and can affect almost all organs ...

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Atrial Septal Defect
Atrial septal defect accounts for 8-10% of all congenital heart defects. Echocardiography is method of choice for assessment of patient with a known or suspected atrial septal defect.

The population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is rapidly growing as a result of improvement in diagnostic techniques, medical and surgical expertise. It is estimated that 85% of infants born with CHD survive into adulthood, some of whom have never had any intervention or surgery.

Long-term mortality in patients with atrial septal defect: a nationwide cohort-study
Aims In this nationwide cohort of atrial septal defect (ASD) patients, the largest to date, we report the longest follow-up time with and without closure in childhood and adulthood compared with a general population cohort.

Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect: principles and available devices.
There has been a remarkable improvement in the treatment strategy of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) over the last few decades. Indebted to the improvement in device technology and procedural techniques, transcatheter closure of ASD is currently ...
