pubmed:abstractText |
Surgical repair of isolated atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been largely supplanted by percutaneous closure. Whether the perceived benefit of percutaneous closure has lowered thresholds for intervention and thus increased overall utilization rates is unknown. We sought to determine nationwide trends in the use of percutaneous compared with surgical closure and their respective outcomes over an 18-year period.
