Highlights
ASD Secundum Atrial Septal Defect (II) is a common congenital heart disease which is typically asymptomatic in infancy and childhood
Significant shunting through the defect with pulmonary over circulation and heart failure symptoms is very rare by infants
Our initial idea was that with time the hypertrophy of the left ventricle would decrease, its distensibility would improve and the left-to-right shunting at atrial level would diminish
Summary
ASD II is a common congenital heart disease which is typically asymptomatic in infancy and childhood. Significant shunting through the defect with pulmonary over circulation and heart failure symptoms is very rare by infants. What was noticed on the postoperative echo was that the atrial septal defect type ostium secundum was quite large (Figure 1), with significant left-to right shunting and with marked right ventricular dilation (Figure 2).
