Abstract
Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has been used as an alternative to open heart surgery. Although transcatheter closure of ASD with the Amplatzer septal occluder is a safe and feasible method in pediatric patients, there is little published data on arrhythmia analysis following transcatheter device closure of secundum ASD. We evaluated cardiac dysrhythmias with 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring after transcatheter closure of ASD with Amplatzer device.
