Key result
Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects was evaluated for immediate and short-term outcomes up to one year in Egyptian cardiac centers, though quantitative results were not reported.
Why the study?
Device closure of secundum ASD is less invasive than surgery with fewer complications and earlier discharge, but outcomes in Egyptian cardiac centres required evaluation.
Observational
Yes
This observational study evaluates the immediate and short-term outcomes of transcatheter closure of secundum ASDs in Egyptian centers.
Immediate electrical remodelling follows pediatric transcatheter ASD closure; leaves open need for randomized trials on arrhythmia and clinical outcomes.
Considered is the Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), with secundum ASDs being the most frequent. As known, in comparison to surgical approach, device closure of secundum ASD is less invasive, has few post-procedural complications, reduced anaesthesia risks, and has early hospital discharge. The present observational study discusses the outcome of the transcatheter closure of secundum ASD in Egyptian cardiac centres. The outcome included immediate and short-term results (up to one-year of intervention date).
