<strong>Background:</strong> Acute changes in left ventricular diastolic function shortly after ASD closure in elderly patients have not been well known. We aimed to investigate acute changes in left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in elderly patients following transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> All 19 adults with ASDs who underwent transcatheter closure between June 2013 and December 2014 were enrolled. LVEDP was measured prior to device closure and compared with that immediately following device closure and 15 minutes after device closure. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> The median age of the patients was 48 years old. The baseline E/e’ and LVEDP values were 8.3 ± 2.8 and 13 ± 3 mmHg. The LVEDP value immediately following closure was 19 ± 4 mmHg, and 15 minutes after closure was 16 ± 4 mmHg. The median increase in the LVEDP value immediately following closure was 6 mmHg, which significantly differed from that prior to closure. The LVEDP 15 minutes after closure decreased but remained significantly higher than the value observed immediately after closure. No significant changes were observed with regard to E/e’ at either 1 day or 3 months following closure. The LVEDP value <br />15 minutes after device closure was significantly correlated with those observed before closure and immediately following closure; however, no significant correlations were observed with regard to patient age, Qp/Qs, E/e’ before closure, or E/e’ 3 months after device closure.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> LVEDP in adults with ASDs significantly increases following device closure. LVEDP before closure predicts LVEDP following device closure.

Abstract Objective Closure of the atrial septal defect in the elderly patients is controversial. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) in elderly patients. Methods From a total of 650 pts with ASD who underwent transcatheter closure 120 pts over 60 years (70 F, 50 M) with a mean age of 66.7±18.1 (60–78) were analyzed. All patients had an isolated secundum ASD with a mean Qp:Qs: 2.79±1.8 (1.5–3.9). A symptom-limited treadmill exercise tests with respiratory gas exchange analysis and transthoracic color Doppler echocardiographic study as well as Quality of life (QoL) measured using the SF36 questionnaire (SF36q) were repeated in all pts before procedure and after 12 months of follow-up. Results The device was successfully implanted in all pts (procedure time 30.1±9.9 (10–59) minutes, fluoroscopy time 10.1±7.2 (6–40) minutes). There were no major complications. The defect echo diameter was 19.5±15.4 (12 - 34) mm. The mean balloon stretched diameter of ASD was 22.0±7.8 (14 - 36) mm. The diameter of the implanted devices ranged 16 - 38 mm. After 12 months of ASD closure, all the pts showed a significant improvement of exercise capacity parameters. Seven QoL parameters (except mental health) improved at 12 months follow up compared to their baseline data. The mean SF36q scale increased significantly in 96 (80.2%) pts of mean 41.6±26.1 (4–71). The right ventricular dimension decreased in 101 pts (84.2%) (Table 1). Conclusions Closure of ASD in elderly patients caused a significant clinical and hemodynamic improvement after percutaneous treatment, which is maintained to long-term follow-up what justified this procedure in old age.
