8 mar 2022 · ASD closure is a procedure to close an atrial septal defect (ASD). An ASD is a hole in the heart between the two upper chambers. The procedure uses a device to plug the hole, a patch to cover it or sutures to sew it shut.
20 gru 2023 · This topic will review surgical and percutaneous closure of ASDs in adults. Indications for ASD closure, medical management, pathophysiology, anatomy, natural history, and clinical features of ASDs in adults, the identification and assessment of ASDs, and issues related to ASDs in children are discussed separately.
The consistent use of pericardial patches for surgical closure results in efficient, secure, low profile, and 100% effective defect closure with an interatrial septum that ultimately is relined with native tissue and for which there is no long term bacterial endocarditis (SBE) risk.
23 sty 2024 · Open-heart repair surgery is the only way to fix primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus atrial defects. Sometimes, atrial septal defect repair can be done using smaller cuts than traditional surgery.
Most large atrial septal defects now can be closed either with open-heart surgery or during a cardiac catheterization using a device inserted into the opening to plug it (referred to as interventional or therapeutic catheterization). However, if the ASD is in an unusual position within the heart, or if there are other heart defects such as ...
10 paź 2006 · Patients with a stretched secundum ASD >36 mm, those with inadequate atrial septal rims to permit stable device deployment, or those with proximity of the defect to the AV valves, the coronary sinus, or the vena cavae are usually referred for surgical repair.
29 lip 2022 · Surgical repair has historically been the approach of choice, although transcatheter intervention with covered stents has emerged as an alternative. Primum ASDs account for 15% of ASDs and occur adjacent to the atrioventricular (AV) valves.
