Stroke in patients with secundum atrial septal defect and sequelae after transcatheter closure.

In this study population, the incidence of stroke prior to ASD closure among patients without atrial arrhythmias was 10%. Risk factors included obesity, smoking and prominent Eustachian valve anatomy. Lifestyle changes should be recommended for at-risk patients, and it may be reasonable to consider ASD closure in the absence of haemodynamic indications in patients at increased risk of stroke.
