Iatrogenic atrial septum defect closure: a necessary procedure?

Anchorperson: P. Lurz

Spokesperson: O. De Backer

Summary

This session addresses the clinical considerations surrounding iatrogenic atrial septal defects (ASDs) resulting from transseptal procedures. It covers prevention of residual defects, diagnostic evaluation, criteria for closure, procedural timing, and management strategies for related complications, supported by illustrative clinical cases demonstrating decision-making nuances.

Learning Objectives

To understand how to prevent a residual iatrogenic ASD during transseptal procedures
To learn how to evaluate the need for ASD closure, including diagnostic methods and procedural timing
To develop strategies for the effective management of complications relating to an iatrogenic ASD

Presentations available when logged in:
