Congenital Heart Diseases:
Atrial Septal Defect
Patient History
This is a case of G.L., a 21 year old
female, complaining of easy fatigability
and occasional chest pain who was
referred for cardiovascular evaluation prior
to employment. She was diagnosed to
have “heart disease” in childhood. Past
medical history revealed frequent upper
respiratory tract infections.

Cardiac
Pulmonary
hypoxic vasoconstriction
decreased area of the pulmonary vascular bed
volume/pressure overload
Secondary Pulmonary Arterial
Hypertension
• Hypoxic Vasoconstriction
– COPD and obstructive sleep apnea
– Due to down regulation of endothelial nitric
oxide synthetase
• Decreased Area of Pulmonary Bed
– Occurs when loss of vessels exceed 60% of
the total pulmonary vasculature
– Occurs in patients with collagen vascular
disease like CREST and scleroderma. And
those with chronic emboli
• Volume/ Pressure Overload
– Seen in patients with left to right intracardiac
shunts
– May passively occur in patients with left atrial
hypertension and left ventricular dysfunction,
mitral valve disease and hose with aortic
stenosis
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
• Common Features
– Medial hypertrophy
– Eccentric and concentric intimal fibrosis
– Recanalized thrombi
– Plexiform lesions
There is medial hypertrophy and marked intimal hyperplasia of this muscular pulmonary artery. These
changes are the morphologic response to increased pulmonary vascular pressures, such as may be
seen in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease, pulmonary thromboembolism, or left-sided heart
disease (e.g., mitral stenosis). Occasionally, elevated pulmonary pressures are seen without
identifiable cause (idiopathic or primary pulmonary hypertension).
A. PA chest film demonstrates mild cardiomegaly with normal pulmonary
arterial markings. There is pulmonary venous congestion, fluid within the
horizontal fissure and prominent Kerley B lines (indicative of lymphatic
engorgement).
Lateral chest film show marked venous congestion with fluid visible in
both the horizontal and oblique fissures.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
• Chest radiograph
– The classic finding on a chest radiograph from
a patient with PAH is enlargement of central
pulmonary arteries, attenuation of peripheral
vessels, and oligemic lung fields.
– Findings of right ventricular and right atrial
dilatation are possible.
A posterior-anterior (PA) chest radiograph demonstrates enlargement of the main pulmonary artery
and right pulmonary artery .The peripheral pulmonary arteries are reduced in caliber. The lung
volumes are normal without evidence of underlying pulmonary parenchymal disease.
A lateral radiograph also demonstrates enlargement of both the right and left pulmonary arteries.
Cardiomegaly, with predominant right ventricular enlargement is present.
Pulmonary Venous Hypertension
• Occurs secondary to increased resistance
to pulmonary venous drainage
• Associated with diastolic dysfunction of the
left ventricle and valvular dysfunctions
(aortic and mitral valve stenosis and
regurgitation)
Pulmonary Venous Hypertension
• Features
– Capillary congestion
– Focal alveolar edema
– Dilatation of interstitial lymphatics
The alveolar septa appear thickened, and the alveolar spaces contain numerous
pigment-laden macrophages. A few alveolar spaces contain pink edema fluid. Note
the thick-walled pulmonary vessel.
Acute Pulmonary Congestion and Edema
Management
• Medical
• Watch out for dev’t of complications
» Arrhythmias, CHF, endocarditis
• Operative repair: definitive
– Patch of pericardium or of prosthetic material
– Percutaneous transcatheter device closure
– Indications:
• symptomatic
• significant L to R shunting
– Qp:Qs ≥ 1.5:1
– RA or RV enlargement – radiographic, cardiac catheterization
• think otherwise if:
– PVR > 12 U/mL / significant pulmonary hypertension
– Eisenmenger – R to L shunting with cyanosis
Management
• Results
• Surgical repair w/ mortality rates near zero
• Complications: atrial arrhythmias, left atrial
hypertension
• Transcather closure
– Air embolism (1-3%), thromboembolism from device (12%), systemic, pulmonary venous obstruction (1%),
perforation of atrium/aorta (1-2%), atrial arrhythmias (13%)
