Late-onset aortic regurgitation after device closure of atrial septal defect.

ABSTRACT: A 10-year-old girl underwent successful device closure of a 15-mm atrial septal defect with a short and thick retroaortic rim using a 16-mm atrial septal occluder from the conventional approach under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. There were no periprocedural complications. The aortic valve was noted to be trileaflet and competent. Transthoracic echocardiography at a routine 2-year follow-up visit demonstrated new-onset moderate aortic regurgitation. There was no pericardial effusion.
