Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects in Egyptian centers: immediate and short-term 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).
