Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect in Adult Patients: Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusions
Significant TR decreased during the long-term follow-up period after transcatheter ASD closure. Heart failure symptoms improved in patients with severe/moderate TR. Our findings suggest that transcatheter closure alone can be valuable in patients with ASD complicated with TR.
