Is transcatheter ASD closure safe and effective in children weighing ≤15 kg?
Percutaneous ASD closure is a safe and effective alternative to surgery in symptomatic children weighing ≤15 kg, though minor complications are more frequent with larger defects.
Panzer et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Secundum atrial septal defect (n=52). Percutaneous atrial septal defect closure was evaluated on Device implantation rate. Percutaneous ASD closure in children weighing ≤15 kg achieved a 94% device implantation rate with no major complications and a 15.4% minor complication rate.
