Why the study?

Does an ICE-assisted "no-balloon" sizing technique safely and effectively guide transcatheter closure of secundum ASDs in adult patients?

Population

Adult patients referred for catheter-based closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defect

Comparison

Intracardiac echocardiography-assisted… vs Balloon sizing technique

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

mean 5.4 ± 1.8 years

Implication

May support ICE-guided no-balloon sizing for adult secundum ASD closure; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does an ICE-assisted "no-balloon" sizing technique safely and effectively guide transcatheter closure of secundum ASDs in adult patients?

Population

Adult patients referred for catheter-based closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defect (mean age 48 ± 13.7 years, 54 females)

Intervention

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)-assisted "no-balloon" sizing technique

Comparator

Balloon sizing technique (used in a preliminary group of 21 patients to assess rim thickness)

Outcome

Procedural success, predischarge occlusion, and major complicationssurrogate

ICE-guided sizing without balloon inflation is a safe and effective method for transcatheter ASD closure, achieving high long-term occlusion rates without major complications.
