Seven years' outcome of simultaneous surgical treatment of atrial septal defect and atrial flutter in 2 children: case reports.
We describe 2 children who had long-standing type 1 atrial flutter and atrial septal defect. The simultaneous surgical treatment of these 2 conditions consisted of transmural incision from the inferior edge of the septal defect to the tricuspid ring, transmural incision from the medial-superior edge of the septal defect to the tricuspid ring, and closure of the septal defect with a bovine pericardial patch. There was no arrhythmia recurrence during a 7-year follow-up period.
