Purpose : This study was performed to follow the natural course and size change of isolated atrial septal defect(ASD) secundum. Methods : Among the newly diagnosed with ASD secundum at the division of pediatric cardiology in Yonsei cardiovascular hospital from January 1996 to December 2000, 89 patients with pure ASD secundum were checked by the serial echocardiographic evaluation to measure the size change. Results : There was a statistical difference(P<0.05) in the rate of spontaneous closure and size change of the defect between the group of bigger defect(>8 mm) and the group of smaller defect (${\leq}8mm$). There was also a statistical difference(P<0.05) in the rate of spontaneous closure and size change of the defect between the group of younger than three years of age and the group of older than three years of age. The initial size of the defect and change of size were the significant influencing factors in the rate of spontaneous closing of ASD. In the group of patients who have persistent ASD, the size of defect showed a tendency of increasing size of defect with the age(P<0.005); however in the correction of these values by the body surface area of each patients, there was no statistical difference. Conclusion : The possibility of spontaneous closure of pure ASD secundum was higher in the group of patients who have smaller defect and who were younger. The ASD secundum that did not have spontaneous closure showed an increase in size with the growth of the patients; however when this size was corrected by the body surface area, there was no statistical difference. The closure of the defect was at 26.2 months of age so close follow-up of the patients is important.
Backgroud. To determine the influence of age at operation upon surgical outcome in patients with isolated secundum atrial septal defect, retrospective clinical analysis was done. Material and method. From June, 1976 to December, 1991, 146 patients, 63 male and 83 female patients ranging in age from 13 months to 56 years, were operated on for isolated secundum atrial septal defect. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their age at operation: Group I [<20 years old], 91 patients[62.3%]; Group II [21 to 40 years old], 44 patients[30.1%]; GroupIII[>41 years old], 11 patients[7.6%]. Significant differences in clinical features, hemodynamic function, early and late results between age groups were speculated. Results. One hundred thirty-one patients[89.6%] were symptomatic at the time of operation, the most common symptoms being dyspnea on exertion, recurrent respiratory infection, palpitation and chest pain. Patients in NYHA class III or IV were 3.3% in group I, 25% in groupIII, and 54.5% in group Ill. Hemodynamic data was available for 138 patients [94.5%]. Significant pulmonary hypertension [MPA systolic pressure $^3$ 40mmHg] was noted in 22 patients [15.9%]. Patients with pulmonary vascular disease [Rp/Rs>1.25] were 2% in group I, 7.3% in group Il, and 9.1% in groupIII. But there were no significant differences between the age groups in the size of the shunt or the ratio of pulmonary to systemic flow. Atrial septal defects were closed with direct suture in 144 patients and patch repair was performed in 2 patients with high defect. Atrial arrhythmia [8.2%] was the most common postoperative complication. The mean [LSD] duration of follow-up in all patients was 16$\pm$22 months [range, 1~96 months]. Functional result was excellent regardless of the age groups. During follow-up period, late cardiovascular events were arrhythmia [7 cases], reoperation for recurrent ASD [2 cases], and premature late death due to bacterial endocarditis [1 case]. Incidence of preoperative and late atrial fibrillation was significantly higher in older age group. Conclusion. Age at operation is one of the most important predictor of early and late surgical outcome with its impact on the following factors : 1] hemodynamic alterations and ventricular dysfunction due to longstanding volume and pressure overload, 2] pulmonary vascular disease, and 3] atrial arrhythmia including atrial fibrillation as a result of atrial dilatation. Therefore, among patients with surgically repaired atrial septal defects, those operated on over the age of 20 require careful supervision on the long-term basis.

Symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with isolated atrial septal defect (ASD) is rare during infancy. We report a case of isolated ASD with severe PAH in an infant who developed airway obstruction as cardiomegaly progressed. The patient presented with recurrent severe respiratory insufficiency and failure to thrive before the repair of the ASD. Echocardiography confirmed volume overload on the right side of heart and severe PAH (tricuspid regurgitation [TR] with a peak pressure gradient of 55 to 60 mmHg). The chest radiographs demonstrated severe collapse of both lung fields, and a computed tomography scan showed narrowing of the main bronchus because of an intrinsic cause, as well as a dilated pulmonary artery compressing the main bronchus on the left and the intermediate bronchus on the right. ASD patch closure was performed when the infant was 8 months old. After the repair of the ASD, echocardiography showed improvement of PAH (TR with a peak pressure gradient of 22 to 26 mmHg), and the patient has not developed recurrent respiratory infections while showing successful catch-up growth. In infants with symptomatic isolated ASD, especially in those with respiratory insufficiency associated with severe PAH, extrinsic airway compression should be considered. Correcting any congenital heart diseases in these patients may improve their symptoms.

Background: Closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is possible through surgical intervention or device placement. During surgical intervention, concomitant pathologies are corrected. The present study was conducted to investigate the outcomes of surgical ASD closure, to determine the risk factors of mortality, and establish the effects of concomitant disease correction. Methods: Between October 1989 and October 2009, 693 adults underwent surgery for secundum ASD. Their mean age was $40.9{\pm}13.1years$, and 199 (28.7%) were male. Preoperatively, atrial fibrillation was noted in 39 patients (5.6%) and significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in 137 patients (19.8%). The mean follow-up duration was $12.4{\pm}4.7years$. Results: There was no 30-day mortality. The 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year survival rates were 99.4%, 96.8%, 94.5%, and 81.6%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, significant preoperative TR (hazard ratio [HR], 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 3.16; p=0.023) and preoperative age (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.06; p=0.001) were independent risk factors for late mortality. The TR grade significantly decreased after ASD closure with tricuspid repair. However, in patients with more than mild TR, repair was not associated with improved long-term survival (p=0.518). Conclusion: Surgical ASD closure is safe. Significant preoperative TR and age showed a strong negative correlation with survival. Our data showed that tricuspid valve repair improved the TR grade effectively. However, no effect on long-term survival was found. Therefore, early surgery before the development of significant TR mat be beneficial for improving postoperative survival.
Between January of 1980 and December of 1989, we are encountered 121 cases of Down syndrome here at Yonsei University Medical Center. of these being endocardial cushion defect, ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and complicated anomalies. The mean age was 1 month 2 years with the sexual division at 31 males and 29 females. Among these 60 patients, 10 of them were treated trough surgical management, 8 of them being open heart surgeries, the 8 open heart surgeries are broken down as follow: 4 total correction of ECD, 2 patch repair of VSD, 1 total correction of TOF, 1 patch repair of ASD secundum. Another 2 operative management are ligation of PDA and modified Blalock - Taussig shunt of TOF. Postoperatively all patients were weaned and extubated on an artificial ventilator without any respiratory complications, and were discharged without incident.
Forty eight patients diagnosed as atrial septal defect, had been operated from April 1986 to December 1990 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Inha University Hospital, were analysed retrospectively. Of the 48 patients, 12 patients, were male and 36 patients were female, Their ranged from 8 months to 51 years old, and the mean was 18.0 years old. The proceeding two symptoms were exertional dyspnea and frequent upper respiratory infection. But 10 patients [20.8%] were asymptomatic. Electrocardiographic findings were regular sinus rhythm in 100.0%, RVH in 29.2%, incomplete RBBB in 27.1%, and first degree AV block in 2.1%. Hemodynamic studies were performed in 38 of 48 patients. Significant pulmonary hypertension[over 50mmHg in systolic pulmonary arterial pressure], which is the most serious risk factor, was developed in 4 patients[8.3%]. There was statistical significance between size of defect[cm2/BSA-M2] and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure[sPAP] retrospectively[p=0.036]. We could not find the correlationship between age and Qs % size. Anatomically, secundum type constituted 97.9%, in which 43 patients were PFO type[91.6%] and 3 patients were IVC type[6.3%]. 38 of 48 ASD patients were repaired with patch closure[72.9%] and remains were repaired with direct closure[27.1%]. The operative result was excellent except two cases of transient postoperative arrhythmia. There was no operative mortality.

Three small breed dogs weighing less 5 kg were admitted with dyspnea and cardiac murmurs. One dog had primum type ASD and chylothorax was concurrently noted. Two dogs had secundum type ASD with and without concomitant pulmonic stenosis. Although medical treatment was attempted, two dogs with secundum type ASD died and a dog with primum type ASD was successfully managed with medication. Defects were confirmed by the postmortem examination in two cases. We first describe the comparison of clinical and diagnostic features in different anatomic, hemodynamic, and pathophysiological types of ASD in small breed dogs and they show some differences with ASD in large breed dogs.
The case of a patient with abnormal position of the atrial septum resulting in a left atrium with two atrioventricular valves and a disconnected right atrium is presented with review of related articles. Anatomic details showed atrial situs solitus and a left sided cardiac apex. The right atrium received both venae cavae and a coronary sinus. No AV valve was found in the right atrium, and the floor of this chamber was placed above the posterior wall of right ventricular chamber. The atrial septum with secundum ASD was displaced to right anteriorly at its lower portion and inserted to right of tricuspid annulus. The tricuspid and mitral valve configuration was that of so-called partial ECD, i.e. mitral cleft with large anterior mitral leaflets. The ventricular septum was intact and both ventricular chambers were equally well developed with normal relationships. Surgical repair of this anomaly was performed by resecting the abnormally positioned lower part of the atrial septum, repairing the cleft of the anterior mitral leaflet, and septating the atrium for diverting the systemic and pulmonary venous blood to RV and LV, respectively.

Purpose : The purpose of our investigation was to explore the natural course, and the factors that influence the natural course, in ostium secundum atrial septal defect(ASD) diagnosed within the first 4 weeks of life. Methods : We studied patients with ASD diagnosed within the first 4 weeks of life during the period from September 1995 to September 1999 in our hospital. The diagnosis and measuring of the size of ASD was carried out by two-dimensional echocardiogram(2DE, Hewlett-Packard Sonos $2500^{(R)}$) from subcostal long and short axis views. Results : There were 61 patients - 29 males and 32 females. According to the size of their defects, we divided them into four groups; group A(less than 4 mm : 24 cases), group B(four mm-six mm : 27 cases), group C(six mm-eight mm : six cases), group D(more than eight mm : four cases). In groups A and B, 22 of 24 patients(91.7%) and 23 of 27 patients(85.2%) had each closed spontaneously. In group C, four of six patients had closed spontaneously. In group D, no patient had closed spontaneously and three of four patients had been closed surgically. There were significant differences in the rate of spontaneous closure between less than six mm group and more than six mm group in the size of the defect(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rate of spontaneous closure between ASD combined with simple cardiac defect and isolated secundum ASD. Conclusion : We conclude that defects smaller than six mm in diameter are very likely to close spontaneously.

Purpose : Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) is currently established therapy as an alternative to surgery. But rarely, complications are reported in some studies. We report early and intermediate term complications associated with transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects using the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO). Methods : From June 2003 to May 2006, 64 patients underwent transcatheter closure of secundum ASD or patent foramen ovale using the ASO. The ratio of male to female was 1:2.4, the median age was 17 years (range: 2.6-64 years) and their median weight was 47.5 kg (range: 2.6-64 kg). Results : The median diameter of ASD measured with transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography was 15 mm (range: 6-28 mm), the median balloon stretched diameter was 18 mm (range: 6.5-34 mm), and the median size of device was 19.5 mm (range: 6-36 mm), was little difference with balloon stretched diameter. There were 10 cases of complications: arrhythmia (2), device malformation (2), aorta to right atrial fistula (1), hemolytic anemia (1), mitral valve encroachment (1), malposition (1), residual shunt (1), and inferior vena cava perforation (1). Conclusion : Transcatheter closure of ASD using ASO is effective and safe therapy. However, significant complications such as aorta to atrial fistula, atrial erosion, or device embolization can happen, so an appropriate selection of patient and device in relevance to size and anatomy of ASD is important for successful closure.
