TL;DR
A 38-year-old female was incidentally found to have a secundum atrial septal defect with moderate tricuspid regurgitation during evaluation for a persistent cough of two months’ duration and the transcatheter closure has been successfully performed and significantly reduce pre-existing respiratory symptoms.
Abstract
ABSTRACTBackground: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart disease (CHD) with a slow progression, often remaining undiagnosed during youth. This can result in a late diagnosis in adulthood when the defect has already become large, which may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to the progression of symptoms.Case summary: A 38-year-old female was incidentally found to have a secundum atrial septal defect (20 x 15 mm) with moderate tricuspid regurgitation during evaluation for a persistent cough of two months’ duration, occasionally accompanied by dyspnea and voice changes.Discussion: The transcatheter closure has been successfully performed and significantly reduce pre-existing respiratory symptoms.Take Home Messages: Early recognition of congenital heart disease by clinicians is essential for timely diagnosis and prompt intervention to prevent serious late complications. Pre-procedural screening should be thoroughly performed to rule out any contraindications to the procedure.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart disease that can be asymptomatic in childhood but has the potential to cause long-term hemodynamic complications. This paper aims to comprehensively discuss the definition, epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management...

BACKGROUND
Percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSDs) has markedly increased with the development of newer, softer occlusion devices.
CASE SUMMARY
We report a 12-year-old girl who underwent percutaneous pmVSD closure. One week later, she was admitted for paroxysmal complete heart block...

Background Apical septal rupture following surgical closure of a ventricular septal defect is a rare but life-threatening complication. Reoperation in such cases may be high risk, making transcatheter closure a viable and less invasive alternative. Case Summary We report an 8-month-old male infant who presented with ca...

Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) carries high morbidity and is often undertreated in patients with complex congenital heart disease and prohibitive surgical risk. Case Summary A 33-year-old woman with complex congenital heart disease and multiple prior surgeries presented with progressive right-sided hear...

Acute severe haemolysis following atrial septal defect(ASD) device closure is extremely rare, where precise incidence, underlying aetiologies, and optimal management strategies remain inadequately understood. We report a case of significant haemolysis after transcatheter atrial septal defect closure in 10 year old fema...
