摘要
There is a lack of evidence regarding treatment options for adults with an atrial septal defect (ASD) who present with an open defect or with sequelae after closure of the defect. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and treatment of a large cohort of adult patients born with an ASD type II.
