Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the changes of left atrialsize and function after transeatheter closurein adults with atrial septal defect(ASD).Methods Forty-nine adults with ASD received transcatheter closure successfully were chosen.Transthoracic echocardiogram examination was performed to detect the diameter and volume of left atrium before treatment and in 2 days,1,3 and 6 months after treatment.ResultsLeft atrial diameter in 2 days,1 and 3 months after treatment compared with that before treatment had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05),and the data in 6 months after treatment was shorter than that before treatment [ (32.06±4.78 ) mm vs.(34.63±5.60) mm,P ＜ 0.05 ].Left atrial total volume reduced in 2 days after treatment compared with that before treatment [ (30.84±4.24) ml vs.(32.43±4.30) ml,P ＜0.05],and further reduced in 3 and 6 months after treatment [(30.51±4.97),(28.94±5.97) ml vs.(32.43±4.30) ml,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜0.01 ].Left atrial active emptying volume before and after treatment had no statistical significance(P ＞ 0.05 ).Left atrial passive emptying volume in 2 days and 1 month after treatment showed no statistical significance compared with that before treatment (P ＞ 0.05),and reduced significantly in 3 and 6 months [ (10.28± 5.51 ),(10.27± 4.82) ml vs.(12.31± 3.51 ) ml,P ＜ 0.01 ].Compared with that before treatment,left atrial ejection fraction in 2 days after treatment had no significant difference(P＞0.05 ),and had statistical significance in 1,3 and 6 months after treatment [(41.70± 7.00)％,(45.47±5.23 )％,(48.55± 7.86)％ vs.(37.39± 4.84 )％,P ＜ 0.01 ].ConclusionThe formation and function of left atrium of adults with ASD would be significantly improved after transcatheter closure.
