Peripheral blood flow in secundum-type atrial septal defect; preoperative and postoperative studies. 1979

D E Cassels, and P C Sodt

The purpose of this study was to correlate intracardiac shunt and peripheral blood flow measured by a venous-occlusion plethysmograph in 30 patients with secundum-type atrial septal defects. Preoperative and postoperative blood flows in the forearm were expressed as milliliters per minute per 100 gm of tissue. Peripheral flow increased after closure of the atrial septal defect, except in seven patients whose flow decreased. A possible explanation for this decrease is discussed.

D006344	Heart Septal Defects, Atrial	Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
