Evidence Based Decision Making

CLOSE and Gore-REDUCE trials have recently changed the way we approach patients with stroke and patent foramen ovale. We present the case of a young patient with an Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) and an atrial septal defect causing a large right-to-left shunt, with an ample discussion on evidence-based decision making.

Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions remaining asymptomatic until adulthood in a great number of patients. The most frequent atrial septal defects in adults are ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), both approachable by transcatheter closure using device implantation. The article reviews the different devices available, the technique of implantation and the indications for transcatheter ASD and PFO closure.

Specific Tissue

William Harvey was the first scientist to describe the heart as consisting of separate right- and left-sided circulations. Our understanding of the heart’s anatomy and physiology has grown significantly since this landmark discovery in 1628. Today, we recognise not only the importance of these separate systems, but also the specific tissue that divides them. Our growing understanding of the inter-atrial septum has allowed us to identify defects within this structure and develop effective percutaneous devices for closure of these defects in the adult patient. This article discusses the formation of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD). In addition, we describe the medical illnesses caused by these defects and summarise the indications and risks related to percutaneous closure of these defects. We also report the most up-to-date transcatheter therapeutic options for closure of these common congenital defects in the adult patient.

Abstract Background Transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure might have opposite short- and long-term haemodynamic consequences compared with restricted interatrial shunt creation, which recently emerged as a potential treatment modality for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Given the opposing approaches of ASD and PFO closure versus shunt creation, we investigated the early and sustained cardiac structural and functional changes following transcatheter ASD or PFO closure. Methods In this retrospective study, adult secundum-type ASD and PFO patients with complete echocardiography examinations at baseline and at 1‑day and 1‑year follow-up who also underwent transcatheter closure between 2013 and 2017 at the University Medical Centre Groningen, the Netherlands were included. Results Thirty-nine patients (mean age 48 ± standard deviation 16 years, 61.5% women) were included. Transcatheter ASD/PFO closure resulted in an early and persistent decrease in right ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Additionally, transcatheter ASD/PFO closure resulted in an early and sustained favourable response of left ventricular (LV) systolic function, but also in deterioration of LV diastolic function with an increase in LV filling pressure (LVFP), as assessed by echocardiography. Age (β = 0.31, p = 0.009) and atrial fibrillation (AF; β = 0.24, p = 0.03) were associated with a sustained increase in LVFP after transcatheter ASD/PFO closure estimated by mean E/e’ ratio (i.e. ratio of mitral peak velocity of early filling to diastolic mitral annular velocity). In subgroup analysis, this was similar for ASD and PFO closure. Conclusion Older patients and patients with AF were predisposed to sustained increases in left-sided filling pressures resembling HFpEF following ASD or PFO closure. Consequently, these findings support the current concept that creating a restricted interatrial shunt might be beneficial, particularly in elderly HFpEF patients with AF.
