Summary
Device closure for atrial septal defects (ASDs) can lead to rare thrombus formation. Vigilant follow-up and personalized antithrombotic strategies are crucial for managing this serious complication.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Percutaneous device closure is the standard for secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs).
- Device-related thrombus is a rare but serious complication.
- Limited evidence exists for diagnosing and managing device-related thrombus.

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.
