Key result
Stenting of the atrial septum reduced right and left atrial pressures by a mean of 2.4 and 7.4 mm Hg, respectively, and increased oxygen saturation by 11.3% in patients with transposition physiology.

Does stenting of the atrial septum effectively create a reliable interatrial communication in patients with congenital heart disease?
Stenting of the atrial septum is a safe and effective method for creating a reliable, long-lasting interatrial communication in selected patients with congenital heart disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support atrial septal stenting for pressure relief in transposition physiology; leaves open efficacy confirmation in prospective congenital heart trials.
Danon et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=13). Stenting of the atrial septum was evaluated on Changes in atrial pressures and systemic saturations. Stenting of the atrial septum reduced right and left atrial pressures by a mean of 2.4 and 7.4 mm Hg, respectively, and increased oxygen saturation by 11.3% in patients with transposition physiology.
