Overview
The prognosis of percutaneous repair of atrial septal defect is generally good. However, the prognosis varies and depends on some factors like age at surgery, size of defect, amount of blood shunting and other associated co-morbidities at the time of repair. Some complications like pulmonary hypertension, eisenmenger’s syndrome, right sided heart failure, arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) and stroke can occur after the repair. However, these are common in older patients(>40years) compared to younger patients.
