Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are traditionally treated with surgical closure.
  • Transcatheter device closure has emerged as a viable alternative.
  • Limited comparative long-term data exists for transcatheter methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare the efficacy of transcatheter device closure versus surgical repair for ASDs.
  • To evaluate and compare the costs associated with both procedures.
  • To assess and compare the complication rates of transcatheter and surgical ASD closure.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of comparative studies.
  • Analysis of efficacy, cost, and complication data.
  • Focus on transcatheter device closure versus surgical repair for ASDs.
