Abstract
The clinical impact of transcatheter closure of the isolated secundum atrial septal defect was reviewed. Closure by echocardiographic evaluation was 23 +/- 14% at 6 months, 49 +/- 16% at 2 years, and 64 +/- 16% at 4 years, and right ventricular end-diastolic dimensions in patients without residual shunts did not differ significantly from those with residual shunts.Entities:
