Transthoracic Echocardiography and Fluoroscopy Guided Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect Closure with Device in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure guided by fluoroscopy and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and to present our experiences.

Material and Methods: In this study, we evaluated 108 patients’ files taken to the catheter laboratory for transcatheter ASD closure retrospectively. The procedure was abandoned in ten patients because of septum device disproportion (6) and deficient rims (4), mainly inferior vena cava rim.

Results: Transcatheter ASD closure guided by TTE was performed in 98 patients (59 female). The mean age of patients was 9.5±6 years (2.6-46), and the mean weight was 30.3±15.3kg (12-80). TTE-guided ASD closure was successfully performed in 92 of 98 (94%) patients. The median largest ASD diameter measured by TTE was 10.75 mm (interquartile range (IQR) 9.12-14. The median stretched balloon diameter measured by fluoroscopy was 14 mm (IQR 12.4-18). The median device waist diameter was 14 mm (IQR 13-18), the median device left atrial (LA) disk diameter was 28 mm (IQR 26-31), and the median ratio of LA disc diameter to total septal diameter was 75% (IQR 68-81). The median fluoroscopy and procedural times were 8 minutes (IQR 5.6-13.75) and 36.5 minutes (IQR 30-49) respectively.

Conclusion: Transcatheter ASD closure guided by TTE and fluoroscopy is safe and effective in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches.
