Summarized patient outcomes/complications of mitral regurgitation outcomes after transcatheter atrial septal defect closure were reported in a research article in a subject population with multiple co-morbidities including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation.Some of the complications reported were heart failure, hospitalization, supraventricular arrhythmia, newly prescribed diuretics (unexpected medical intervention), worsening mitral regurgitation these complications are anticipated for the procedure and subject population.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device or individual patient information was received for analysis.Literature attachment: article title "mitral regurgitation outcomes after transcatheter atrial septal defect closure".

The article, ¿mitral regurgitation outcomes after transcatheter atrial septal defect closure¿, was reviewed.The article presented retrospective, single center study to elucidate mitral regurgitation (mr) outcomes and predictors of worsening mr after transcatheter atrial septal defect (asd) closure.Devices included in this study were amplatzer septal occluder (abbott, st.Paul, mn, usa) and occlutech figulla flex ii asd occluder (occlutech gmbh, jena, germany).The article concluded that worsening mr after transcatheter asd closure might depend on mitral valve (mv) leaflet findings and annulus size in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.[the primary and corresponding author was michiyo yamano, department of cardiovascular medicine, graduate school of medical science, kyoto prefectural university of medicine, kajii-cho 465, kawaramachi-hirokoji, kamigyo-ku, kyoto 602-8566, japan, with corresponding email: m.Yamano823@gmail.Com].
