Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the two most common congenital heart diseases in children and adult. After the application of catheter intervention for ASD, this became an alternative treatment other than surgery from late 1990. In 2001, the procedure was further approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and become the first choice for most cases of secundum type of ASD worldwide. The success rate is more than 98% in literature reviews, with low complication rates in percutaneous ASD closure. Major complications are around 1%, including device embolization, cardiac erosions, new-onset atrial arrhythmia, and other comorbidities. We reviewed indications for percutaneous secundum type ASD closure, technique, successful rate and major complications in this article. To complete the catheter intervention with difficult ASD conditions, various procedural techniques have been developed recently. We also report a challenging case by a current balloon-assisted technique for huge ASD closure.

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the use of robotic technology in medical surgery, especially in heart surgery. Many advancements in surgery have been made possible by the development of these robotic devices, such as the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California, United States). These advancements include improved ergonomics, three-dimensional (3D) imaging, and increased dexterity.

Background: Secundum Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are the most common type of atrial septal defects. Today, using different types of occluders, transcatheter closure is widely used to treat ASD and has replaced the surgical procedure in anatomically suitable patients. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of treatment of adult patients requiring an ASD device closure referred to Shahid Chamran Cardiovascular Center in Isfahan, Iran.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.

The case report presented in this edition by Mu . The report presents a case of atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with electrocardiographic changes, noting that the crochetage sign resolved after Selective His Bundle Pacing (S-HBP) without requiring surgical closure. The mechanisms behind the appearance and resolution of the crochetage sign remain unclear.
