Overview

Among treatment options, percutaneous closure is the method of choice for ostium secundum patients. Many patients experience positive improvements in quality of life such as fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and overall symptomatic improvement.

Benefits of percutaneous closure

The percutaneous closure of ostium secundum is the method of choice in many centers.[1], [2]. The benefits that can be associated with the closure are as follow:

Disease related benefits

Other benefits

  • Less invasive no need for cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Successful implantation rates of more than 96%.
  • Established practice (done in most hospital these days)
  • Cost-effective
  • Shorter hospital stays
