Abstract
Primum atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly that is typically repaired in the first years of life. Patients with isolated ostium primum atrial septal defects (ASDs) have benefited from important recent advances in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of their conditions. Operative correction typically involves pericardial patch closure of the septal defect and closure of associated left atrioventricular valve cleft. This review will focus on thirty paediatric patients with sizeable ostium primum atrial septal defects who do not have other major associated cardiac defects.References
