Objectives: We prospectively examined whether surgical treatment of secundum atrial septal
defects (ASDs) in patients≥ 40 years old improves their long-term clinical outcome …

Objective: To report the immediate and midterm results of transcatheter closure of
perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PmVSD) using the Amplatzer membranous VSD …

Ebstein anomaly is a complex congenital heart disease characterized by a variable
downward displacement of the tricuspidvalve into the right ventricle. Its anatomy and severity …

Results A total of 85 patients were included. Median age was 57 (49–66) years, 69% were
men, body mass index was 29 (26–35) kg/m 2, 51% had history of diabetes, 46% had history …

Objectives. To compare the short‐and mid‐term outcomes of surgical (SUR) vs.
transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) using Amplatzer septal …

Objectives. To demonstrate safety and efficacy of using different generations of softer
Amplatzer™ devices for ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure to avoid serious …

Background The Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) has been used with success to close large
patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), but some problems exist especially with hypertensive PDAs …

Over the last several years, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been employed
successfully in guiding transcatheter device closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) …

Background: Although good prognosis and clinical long-term outcome have been commonly
reported in minimally symptomatic adult patients with ASD, this information has been based …

Background: Living at high altitude increases the prevalence of patent ductus arteriosus
(PDA) and may affect its morphology. Aim: To compare the anatomical and haemodynamic …
