Abstract
We investigated the mid-to-long-term results of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) in patients ?40?years since there are issues with patients presenting with pulmonary hypertension and arrhythmia at the time of closure. In an 8.8 year period, transcatheter closure of ASD was successful in 179 patients aged ?40?years, but failed in 2. Of the 179 patients (44 males, median 53?years), NYHA functional class, presence of arrhythmia and severity of pulmonary hypertension were compared before and after closure. Patients with pulmonary hypertension (n?=?43, 24?%) were significantly older (60?±?11 vs. 52?±?9?years, p?
