Abstract Introduction: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of
published studies to determine the prevalence of troponin elevation after
percutaneous atrial septal defect closure (pASDc) as well as to describe the

erosion. Methods: A qualitative systematic review and meta-analysis was
undertaken. The selected studies included patients of any age receiving a pASDc;
performed under transesophageal echocardiography monitoring; reporting
troponin level measurement after the intervention; and indicating prevalence of
troponin elevation and/or the association with risk factors for erosion. Results: Six
studies were found which included 391 patients in total. The… More >
