Objective:
Atrial septal defect is one of the most commonly encountered congenital heart diseases in adults. The effect of age of the patient to the surgery is disputable. The purpose of this report was to evaluate surgical repair in patients with ASD who are operated in our clinic.
Methods:
Total 40 patients were subjected to surgical repair due to ASD in Van Yuksek Ihtisas Education and Research Hospital between February 2006 and April 2009. Twenty seven of the patients were female and 13 were male, their ages differed between 8 and 71 and mean age of the patients was 33.70±14.04.
Result:
Operative mortality did not occur. Two of our patients had coronary arterial disease in addition to ASD. ASD repair was performed together with coronary bypass surgery. Closing of ASD resulted in an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction, and a decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure and cardiothoracic ratio. Recovery in the functional capacity was observed post-surgery according to NYHA.
Conclusion:
In this series, surgical results of the patients of various ages, with ASD closed were positive.
