Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of interventional treatment of atrial septal defect (ASD). Methods Transcatheter closure of ASD was performed in 480 cases (198 males and 282 females), age ranged from 1.2 to 72 years (mean 24?8 years). All patients finished clinical examination, chest X-ray, electrocardiography (ECG) and trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the diagnosis of secundum ASD. The stretch diameter of ASD varied from 6-34 mm, mean 16?4 mm. Four hundred and seventy cases were simple opening secundum ASD. Results The devices were discharged successfully in all patients. The diameter of the occluders selected ranged from 10-40 mm, mean 20?6 mm. Among the patients who had multiple-openings, six cases were closed completely with one occluder, and the other four cases were closed with two occluders. Conclusion Interventional treatment is an effective, safe and optimal choice for the treatment of ASD.
