OBJECTIVE: To determine the value of surgical closure of atrial septal defects in patients over 40 years of age.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 76 patients (63 women, 13 men), age range 40-62 years (mean (SD) 45.8 (5.1) years), who underwent surgical repair of atrial septal defect. Pre- and postoperative clinical status (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class) was assessed, and ECG, x ray, and echocardiographic investigations performed. Follow up was between 1 and 17 years.
RESULTS: One operative and one late death occurred during the study period. Before operation, 47 patients (61.8%) were in NYHA functional classes III and IV. After operation, 61 patients (82.4%) were in classes I and II. Four patients had atrial fibrillation before surgery versus nine after surgery. Before operation, 52 patients had intensified pulmonary vascularity compared with only seven after operation. Echocardiographic examination showed a significant reduction in right ventricular dimension (4.10 (0.91) v 2.95 (0.36) cm, p < 0.001). No residual intracardiac shunts were identified on echocardiographic follow up.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgical closure of atrial septal defects in patients over 40 years old can improve their clinical status and prevent right ventricular dilatation and insufficiency.
