Overview
Among treatment options, percutaneous closure is the method of choice for ostium secundum patients. Many patients experience positive improvements in quality of life such as fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and overall symptomatic improvement.
Benefits of percutaneous closure
percutaneous closure is the method of choice in many centers.[1], [2]. The benefits that can be associated with the closure are as follow:
- Cost-effective
- 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 [3]
- Improved left atrial volume index
- Improved left ventricular myocardial performance index
- Improved right ventricular myocardial performance index
- Improved peak oxygen uptake
- Less invasive no need for cardiopulmonary bypass
- Successful implantation rates of more than 96%.
- Established practice(done in most hospital these days)
