Abstract:
Objective To explore a more minimally invasive and economical treatment for atrial septal defect (ASD) through comparing the efficacy and safety in percutaneous transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect procedure,guided by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography(TEE).Methods From March 2014 to September 2017,197 patients with ASD who were feasible to treated with percutaneous transcatheter closure procedure evaluated by preoperative ~ were recruited.TTE showed ASD belonged to secundum(central type) with a maximal diameter range from 2 mm to 35mm,including 82 cases of the ASD without aortic rim.There were 106 patients(47males and 59 females including 37 ASD without aortic rim) with a mean age of 14.2 years(6 months-59 years) old and a mean body weight of 29.5(8.5-64.0)kg were performed percutaneous transcatheter closure of ASD guided by TEE under general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation,and 91 patients(41males and 50 females with 45 ASD without aortic rim inside) with a mean age of 13.8 years(9 months-65 years) old and a mean body weight of 30.4 (9.5-61.0)kg were treated with the percutaneous transcatheter procedure guided by TTE when patients in waking state of local anesthesia(general anesthesia were adopted in patients under 12 years old without intubation).The size of the occluder was selected on the basis of the maximal diameter plus 2-6mm.All 197 cases intraoperation and postoperation data were collected,including complications 、operation time 、operation room stay time and total cost.Results 1 patients in 106 cases of the the TEE group were transferred to small incision on the chest performing transthoracic transcatheter closure of ASD because the difficult stuck of the occluder.3 patients in TEE group transferred to repair under cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) via small incision on the chest because the difficult stuck of the occluder even in using transthoracic transcatheter closure way.86 patiens in TTE group successfully treated with percutaneous transcatheter closure,and there were 5 failed cases including 2 patients who transferred to TEE guided because of the poor imaging of TTE,another 2 cases treated with transthoracic transcatheter closure of ASD because the difficult stuck of the occluder,and 1 patient performed ASD repair procedure under CPB via small incision on the chest because of the huge ASD without aortic rim and difficult stuck of the occluder.All the 197 patients were cured and discharge from hospital,and there were no complications.There was no significant difference in age,weight,and maximum diameter of ASD between TEE group and TTE group (P ＞ 0.05).Follow-ups were conducted by TTE at month 3 post-operation,and all 197 cases performed no residual shunt of ASD,there were no difference between 2 group.The stay time in the operation room was(68.2 ± 17.3) min in group TEE and (34.7 ± 16.8) min in group TTE,there was obviously shortened the stay time in operation room(P ＜0.01).The total cost of the TTE group was(24.2 ± 2.1) thousand yuan,and the group TEE was(29.3 ± 1.4) thousand yuan,and the cost was significantly reduced in TTE group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The treatment of percutaneous transcatheter closure of ASD guided by TTE is effective and safe,and the feature of more non-invasive and socioeconomic benefits show a broad application prospect.
