Percutaneous Treatment of Septal Defects; A Single-Center Experience

Öz

Introduction: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital anomaly in adults. The aim of this study was to assess the operation success of percutaneous closure of ASD and patent foramen ovale (PFO) and the short-term results based on our experience.Patients and Methods: Patients with ASD and PFO in whom percutaneous intervention was performed were evaluated retrospectively. Minor and major complication rates, success rate and short-term outcomes of the procedure were assessed.Results: The overall success rate of the procedure was 96.9%. The minor complication rate was 2.7%. There were no major complication and in-hospital deaths. Left atrium volume and pulmonary artery pressure were decreased significantly after the closure of the septal defects. Two patient in whom percutaneous ASD closure was performed had a residual shunt. One patient developed minimal pericardial effusion and one had mild fever following the procedure.Conclusion: The results of our series confirm that percutaneous closure of septal defects is an effective and safe technique according to the short term results and complication rates when it is performed in selected patients.

Septal Defektlerin Perkütan Yolla Kapatılması; Tek Merkez Deneyimi

Öz

Giriş: Atriyal septal defekt (ASD), erişkinlerde en sık görülen konjenital kardiyak anomalidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kendi deneyimimize dayanarak perkütan yöntemlerle ASD ve patent foramen ovale (PFO) kapatılan hastaların işlem başarısı ve erken dönem sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir.Hastalar ve Yöntem: Perkütan girişim yapılmış ASD ve PFO hastaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Minör ve majör komplikasyon oranları, işlem başarısı ve erken dönem sonuçları değerlendirilmeye alınmıştır.Bulgular: İşlem başarısı %96,9 olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Minör komplikasyon oranı %2,7 olarak ölçülmüştür. Majör komplikasyon veya hastane içi ölüm görülmemiştir. Septal defektlerin kapatılması sonrası sol atriyum bolümü ve pulmoner arter basıncı anlamlı olarak düşmüştür. Perkütan girişimle ASD kapatılmış olan iki hastada rezidüel şant tespit edilmiştir. Bir hastada minimal perikardiyal efüzyon ve bir hastada da işlem sonrası hafif ateş tespit edilmiştir.Sonuç: Uygun hastalarda septal defektlerin perkütan yolla kapatılması, kısa dönem sonuçları ve komplikasyon oranları değerlendirildiğinde, etkili ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir.
