Descrição: Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation are well-documented sequelae of atrial septal defects, associated with substantial morbidity and, occasionally, death. 1 – 3 The prevention of atrial flutter or fibrillation or the restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with these defects is therefore desirable. The surgical closure of atrial septal defects leads to improved functional status and reduces the risk of right-sided heart failure and progressive or severe pulmonary hypertension. 1 , 4 , 5 Atrial flutter or fibrillation, however, has often persisted at late follow-up (>25 years) in patients who have undergone surgical closure after childhood (reported incidence, 41 to 59 percent). 1 , 4 – 7 Evidence . . .
