Transcatheter closure of the patent foramen ovale was the most common interventional procedure performed in our adult congenital heart disease unit in 2006. Although the prevalence of patent foramen ovale is similar in children, closure is rarely performed in this group despite susceptibility to similar defect-related morbidity. In this review we question whether this should remain the case.
经导管闭合卵圆孔未闭是2006年我们成人先天性心脏病科室实施的最常见的介入手术。尽管儿童卵圆孔未闭的患病率与之相似，但尽管该组患儿易患与类似缺陷相关的疾病，却很少进行闭合手术。在本综述中，我们质疑这种情况是否应继续存在。
