Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A young woman presented with severe heart failure symptoms 4 years after percutaneous device closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD). There was residual left-to-right shunting, and the device was obstructing the inferior caval vein and tricuspid valve flow. Intraoperatively, the ASD was shown to be an inferior sinus venosus defect, and reconstruction of the mitral valve and the posterior wall of the left atrium was required. This case emphasizes the importance of appropriate patient selection for interventional ASD closure and demonstrates that patients with less-than-optimal results should be referred for surgical correction early, before the device produces secondary damage to atrial structures and atrioventricular valves. |
