Assessment of Device Neoendothelialization With Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect was established as the treatment of choice several decades ago, the process of device neoendothelialization (NE) in humans is not well understood. We aimed to measure the extent of device NE using cardiac computed tomography angiography and analyze its risk factors.

Methods

Between January 2005 and February 2021, we retrospectively reviewed 164 devices of 112 patients on cardiac computed tomography angiography. We investigated device shape, contrast opacification within the device that differentiated device NE, and device-related thrombosis or vegetation. Risk factor analysis for major adverse cardiovascular events and incomplete NE according to the postprocedural period was performed.
