Atrial Septal Stent Implant: Atrial Septal Defect Creation in the Management of Complex Congenital Heart Defects in Infants

open access: yesCongenital Heart Disease, 2006
Certain congenital heart defects require the creation of an unrestrictive atrial septal defect (ASD) to relieve atrial hypertension, to maintain systemic cardiac output, or to achieve adequate atrial mixing to improve systemic oxygen saturation. We describe a series of patients, ranging in age from 5 weeks to 17 months, in whom we implanted a stent ...

Effects of Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defects on Heart Rate Variability [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research, 2011
This study evaluated heart rate variability and its changes in 30 patients before and after transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects. Heart rate variability data from 30 healthy volunteers with normal echocardiographic parameters and no history of atrial septal defects were included as controls.

Atrial septal defect in adulthood: a new paradigm for congenital heart disease

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2021
AbstractAtrial septal defects (ASDs) represent the most common congenital heart defect diagnosed in adulthood. Although considered a simple defect, challenges in optimal diagnostic and treatment options still exist due to great heterogeneity in terms of anatomy and time-related complications primarily arrhythmias, thromboembolism, right heart failure ...

Atrial Septal Defects

open access: yesThe Lancet, 2014
Atrial septal defects are the third most common type of congenital heart disease. Included in this group of malformations are several types of atrial communications that allow shunting of blood between the systemic and the pulmonary circulations.

Molecular genetics of congenital atrial septal defects

open access: yesClinical Research in Cardiology, 2009
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common developmental errors in humans, affecting 8 out of 1,000 newborns. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of CHD has dramatically improved in the last decades.

Atrial septal defect with a rare occupying lesion in heart

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Abstract Background Cardiac epicardium hemangiomas are exceedingly rare; however, they can cause significant hemodynamic impairment and large pericardial effusions. On rare occasion, cardiac tumors coexist with malformations of the heart.
