Abstract

Prior to initiation of a formal screening program, 30 % of patients referred for device closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) at our institution had atrial septal anatomy which precluded ASD device closure. This resulted in inefficiencies in workflow, staff utilization, and inconvenience for families. Our objective was to report our experience with an ASD prescreening evaluation/protocol and family consultation process. This is a retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent a comprehensive ASD prescreening evaluation at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta between January 2011 and June 2013. The comprehensive prescreening process included a detailed transthoracic echocardiogram and family consultation. Upon establishing a formal prescreening process for patients with secundum ASDs, 138 patients were screened for appropriateness of ASD device closure. At time of prescreening, 40 patients (29 %) were deemed not to be suitable candidates for device ASD closure. In 9 patients (6.5 %), after discussion with the interventionalist, parents elected to pursue surgical ASD closure. A total of 78 patients (56.5 %) underwent successful transcutaneous ASD device closure. In addition, there was a significant discrepancy in the reported size of the ASD between the outside evaluation and the ASD size discovered during the prescreening process. The addition of a prescreening program for transcatheter ASD closure has decreased the incidence of unsuccessful ASD closure from 30 to 10.3 %. The use of a comprehensive evaluation process for ASD device closure improves the likelihood of successful device implantation and permits adequate preprocedural counseling for the patient and family.
