Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) can lead to arrhythmias like AVNRT due to device interference. High-density mapping is crucial for diagnosing and treating these post-procedural complications, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are common congenital heart defects, with transcatheter closure being a preferred minimally invasive treatment.
- Transcatheter ASD closure carries a 7-10% risk of post-procedural arrhythmias, such as bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias.
- Arrhythmias can result from mechanical interference with cardiac conduction tissues or device-induced reentrant circuits.
