Benefits of percutaneous closure

Percutaneous closure is the method of choice in most centers.[1] Closure is associated with:

  • Fewer complications
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Reduced need for blood transfusions
  • Symptomatic improvement
  • Regression of positive airway pressure
  • Positive changes in right ventricle performance
  • Improved functional capacity
    • Improved left atrial volume index
    • Improved left ventricular myocardial performance index
    • Improved right ventricular myocardial performance index
    • Improved peak oxygen uptake
