Effective Closure Rate at 360-day Post Operation Primary · 360-day post ASD closure operative

Effective closure rate refers to proportion of patient without or with only mild-small residual shunt in TTE or TEE observation after device implantation

GroupValue95% CI
Treatment Group - Implanted158
The Rate of Common Complication During 360-day Post ASD Closure Operative Primary · 360-day post operation

Rate of common complication refers to proportion of subject with common complication during the 360day of follow up, common complications include Occluder dislocation, Moderate or larger residual shunt, High-grade atrioventricular block, Intractable headache or migraine, Cardiac tamponade, Cerebral embolism and Air embolism.

GroupValue95% CI
Treatment Group - Implanted3
Immediate Operation Success Rate Secondary · Immediate postoperative

Immediate operation success refers to the occluder being successfully implanted which means left and right disks are effectively fixed on left and right sides of atrial septum, respectively and smoothly released without displacement or falling off and the delivery system and the delivery system is successfully withdrawn.Success rate refers to proportion of subject with such implant success.
