Abstract :
The percutaneous transcatheter device closure of cardiac and extracardiac defects is a preferred method because of reduced morbidity and mortality, shorter hospital stay, superior cosmetic results, avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass, decreased cost and less postoperative pain (1, 2). The aim of our study was to investigate the anesthetic management of percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASD).
