secundum
1.Intervention treatment of secundum ASD complicated with other malformations under echocardiographic guidance in 428 patients
2.Here the defect is not closed by the septum secundum, so a shunt exists across from left to right.
3.Results: There were 114 patients of ostium secundum ASD with maximal diameter of 40 mm and minimal diameter of 5 mm.
4.Objective To compare merits and shortages between minimally invasive small incision surgical repair and interventional device closure for isolated secundum atrial septal defect (ASD).
5.Conclusions: (1) There are variety in morphology of secundum ASD, such as oval, oblong, Swiss cheese, narrow and long and irregular.
6.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical results of 69 patients with isolated secundum ASD from January 2004 to June 2006. Among them 37 patients underwent minimally invasive small incision surgical repair on the beating heart (Small Incision Group) and 32 patients underwent interventional device closure of ASD (Interventional Group).
7.Methods Among 54 patients,20 patients were with atrial fibrillation,10 with frequently premature ventricular contraction,4 with frequently premature atrial contraction,3 with supraventricular tachycardia,1 with ventricular tachycardia,14 patients with Ⅰ°AVB,1 with Ⅱ°AVB and 1 with Ⅲ°AVB.All 54 patients were central type foramen secundum ASD.
