Benefits of percutaneous closure
Percutaneous closure is the method of choice in most centers.[1] Closure is associated with:
- Fewer complications
- Shorter hospital stays
- Reduced need for blood transfusions
- Symptomatic improvement
- Regression of positive airway pressure
- Positive changes in right ventricle performance
- Improved functional capacity
- Improved left atrial volume index
- Improved left ventricular myocardial performance index
- Improved right ventricular myocardial performance index
- Improved peak oxygen uptake
