Lung function in atrial septal defect after heart surgery
International Journal of Cardiology, 1992Lung volume, indices of lung elasticity and airway patency were measured in 74 patients, 9-21 yr old (15.0 +/- 2.5 yr) with atrial septal defect (secundum type) from 2-11 (5.1 +/- 2.5) yr after successful surgical correction. Clinical condition in all patients was classified as excellent.

Beating heart as an alternative for closure of secundum atrial septal defect
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2012We repaired secundum atrial septal defect in 135 consecutive patients from February 2003 to December 2010. There were 98 females and 37 males, with a mean age of 22.92 ±17.46 years (range, 3–55 years). To prevent myocardial dysfunction and systemic embolism caused by the conventional technique, the operation was performed with a beating heart under ...

Development of an Endocardioscope for Repair of an Atrial Septal Defect in the Beating Heart
ASAIO Journal, 1999The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of surgical treatment of an atrial septal defect in the beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass. The first step was to develop an endocardioscope that permitted observation of the inside of the beating heart. To visualize the inside of the beating heart, the tip of the endoscope was covered

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1979
AbstractThis anatomic study suggests that an understanding of the thickness of the atrial septum should allow better visualization of most portions of the blade‐shaped atrial septum during cross‐sectional echocardiography, both in normal subjects and in patients with ostium secundum atrial septal defects.

Ostium secundum atrial septal defects and congestive heart failure in infancy
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1965Abstract Foramen secundum defects of the interatrial septum with large left to right shunts may cause congestive heart failure during infancy. In three infants with this lesion, varying in age from 5 days to 2 years, intractable congestive heart failure developed. Case 1 presented with signs of congestive heart failure in the newborn nursery.

Characteristics of 11 Neonates with Atrial Septal Defects Detected by Heart Murmurs
American Journal of Perinatology, 2003The aim of this prospective study was to investigate, using echocardiography, the relationship between heart murmurs found in the neonatal period and atrial septal defect (ASD). Heart murmurs were detected in 115 of 5124 term neonates within 1 month after birth.

Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project: atrial septal defect
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000The extant nomenclature for atrial septal defect (ASD) is reviewed for the purpose of establishing a unified reporting system. The subject was debated and reviewed by members of the STS-Congenital Heart Surgery Database Committee and representatives from the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Iatrogenic atrial septal defect: An unusual complication of valvular heart surgery
American Heart Journal, 1972Abstract The occurrence of iatrogenic atrial septal defects complicating prosthetic replacement of the aortic valves is emphasized. Two cases are reported, the first involving a 53-year-old Caucasian woman undergoing Starr-Edwards prosthetic replacement of her aortic valve and mitral commissurotomy, and the second a 44-year-old Caucasian man whose ...

Diagnostic value of the first heart sound in children with atrial septal defect
American Heart Journal, 1969The pre- and postoperative phonocardiograms of 24 children with uncomplicated atrial septal defect (ostium secundum type) were analyzed. The amplitude of the mitral (M1) and tricuspid (T1) components of the first heart sound were measured in each patient at the apex prior to surgery.

Effect of increase in heart rate on interatrial shunt in atrial septal defect
Pediatric Cardiology, 1992The effect of increases in heart rate by atrial pacing was investigated in 20 children [mean 9 +/- 4 (SD) years] with atrial septal defect. Systemic blood flow increased by 13 +/- 10 and 27 +/- 22% with a 25 and 50% increase in heart rate, respectively. Pulmonary blood flow, however, remained unaltered.
